Linebacker Chop Robinson back for Dolphins against Commanders after clearing concussion protocol

Miami Dolphins linebacker Chop Robinson has cleared concussion protocol and will be available for the game against the Washington Commanders in Madrid on Sunday

NOVEMBER 14 • Associated Press

Cleared to return for Week 11 Robinson has cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Commanders, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Impact Robinson sustained a concussion in Miami's Week 9 loss to Baltimore and sat out the Week 10 win over Buffalo, but he has gained clearance from an independent neurologist and will return against the Commanders in Madrid. The 2024 first-round pick has been held to one sack in nine appearances this season after registering 6.0 sacks in his rookie campaign.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Tracking toward Week 11 return Robinson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Robinson was unable to play in the Dolphins' Week 10 win over the Bills while in the league's concussion protocol. His ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, but he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be available for Sunday's game against the Commanders in Madrid, Spain. Robinson's return would result in less snaps at defensive end for Matthew Judon.

Won't play against Buffalo Robinson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Robinson managed to practice Friday in a limited capacity, but he will remain in the league's concussion protocol and not play in Sunday's AFC East tilt. His absence means Andre Carter and Matthew Judon should see an uptick in snaps at defensive end opposite starter Bradley Chubb in Week 10. Robinson's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 16.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play vs. Bills Robinson (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus Buffalo, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Per Perkins, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday, "I'm prepared for him not to play, but not ruling it out." Further hurting Robinson's chances is the fact that he'll need to clear league concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up in Week 10. If Robinson is indeed sidelined, veteran Matthew Judon would figure as a candidate to start on the edge opposite Bradley Chubb.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Robinson (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 2024 first-round pick was able to log a limited practice Friday, but is still unlikely to be able to suit up for Sunday's game. If Robinson is unable to go, the Dolphins will have to rely more on their rotational defensive end Matthew Judon.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined Wednesday Robinson (concussion) is not practicing Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 2024 first-round pick from Penn State sustained a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Ravens, so it's no surprise that he's missing Wednesday's practice. Although Robinson hasn't been ruled out for the Week 10 matchup against the Bills, head coach Mike McDaniel didn't sound too optimistic about his availability Sunday, per Louis-Jacques.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Thursday Robinson (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday night's game against the Ravens, C. Isaiah Smalls II of The Miami Herald reports.

Impact The defensive end left the game earlier in the first half to get evaluated for a possible concussion. Robinson made one tackle before exiting. Matthew Judon is his backup.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Might have concussion Robinson is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Ravens.

Impact The defensive end recorded one tackle before exiting. Matthew Judon should see more snaps in his absence.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Active Thursday Robinson (knee) is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Bills.

Impact The 2024 first-round pick was listed as a limited participant throughout the practice week leading up to this game. Robinson logged 36 and 21 defensive snaps, respectively, in Miami's first two contests, and he has three solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, on the season.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Bills Robinson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's road game against Buffalo, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Robinson has been listed as limited in practice leading up to Thursday's contest, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up, though two of Miami's three sessions were merely estimates. The second-year pro played just 38 percent of defensive snaps during the Dolphins' loss to the Patriots in Week 2, but he made an impact with two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Limited with knee issue Robinson was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a knee injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Robinson likely picked up the injury during the Dolphins' Week 2 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, when he logged two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks. If he's not cleared to play against the Bills on Thursday, veteran Matthew Judon would be in line to see a significant increase in defensive snaps opposite fellow edge rusher Bradley Chubb.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Thursday Robinson (undisclosed) is participating in team drills Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Robinson was injured in Wednesday's joint practice with the Lions, but he's back to practicing the next day. The 2024 first-round pick is looking to build on a promising rookie season in which he picked up 6.0 sacks.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Avoids major injury Robinson (undisclosed) relayed Wednesday that the injury he suffered during practice is "nothing serious," Nick Pugliese and Tom D'Angelo of The Palm Beach Post report.

Impact Robinson had to be carted off the field during the Dolphins' joint practice with the Lions, but the good news for Miami and the 2024 first-rounder is that he appears to have faded a serious injury. He'll undergo further testing over the coming days to determine the exact nature and severity of the injury and whether he'll be able to return to practice over the coming weeks.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Exits practice early Robinson (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Wednesday's joint practice with the Lions, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The severity of Robinson's injury is still unknown. However, the team will be without a major piece of their front seven should the 22-year-old miss extended time. Miami's 2024 first-round pick made an immediate impact on defense last season, accounting for 26 tackles (16 solo), including six sacks, with starters Jaelan Phillips (knee) and Bradley Chubb (knee) missing a majority of the team's regular-season games.

Logs six sacks in rookie season Robinson registered 26 tackles (16 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and four pass defenses across 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact Robinson was Miami's first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he made an immediate impact for a Dolphins' defense that lost Jaelan Phillips (knee) after Week 4 and didn't have Bradley Chubb (knee) play in a single regular-season game. Robinson finished second on the team in sacks behind Zach Sieler (10.0), and the former finished second among NFL rookies behind Braden Fiske (8.5). Robinson earned a spot on ESPN's Ben Solak's 2024 NFL All-Rookie Team, and the Penn State product will look to carry that momentum into the 2025 campaign.
