Chiefs' Watkins, Bucs' Brown and Brate active for Super Bowl

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins was cleared to play in the Super Bowl after missing the past three games with a calf injury

FEBRUARY 7, 2021 • Associated Press

Activated from COVID-19 list Robinson was activated off the NFL's reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and will be available to play in the Super Bowl against the Buccaneers, ESPN reports.

Impact As expected, Robinson tested negative for five straight days before returning to practice Friday. He played 71 and 65 percent of Kansas City's offensive snaps in the first two playoff games, catching one pass for 14 yards on three targets. With Sammy Watkins (calf) expected to suit up for the first time since Week 16, the Chiefs could have fewer snaps available for Robinson, Mecole Hardman and Byron Pringle.

Returning to practice Robinson (undisclosed) has been cleared to resume practicing Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Robinson landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list as a close contact Monday, after having visited a barber who tested positive, but the wideout has since returned daily negative tests without fail. The Chiefs should officially remove Robinson from the COVID list sometime Friday, at which point he'll be fully on track for the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Should return Friday Robinsons continues to test negative for COVID-19, putting him on track to rejoin the Chiefs on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Robinson and C Daniel Kilgore were customers of a barber who tested positive for the virus. Given that they were close contacts rather than testing positive, both players should be eligible for the Super Bowl on Sunday. It's been a quiet postseason for Robinson, who has caught just one of three targets for 14 yards despite playing 71 and 65 percent of offensive snaps in two games. His workload will be scaled back in the Super Bowl if Sammy Watkins (calf) is ready to play.

Chiefs' Robinson, Kilgore on COVID-19 list as close contacts

The Kansas City Chiefs placed a pair of backups, wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and center Daniel Kilgore, on the COVID-19 list as close contacts as they begin their final prepara...

Placed on COVID-19 list The Chiefs placed Robinson (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Robinson and teammate Daniel Kilgore (undisclosed) both hit the COVID-19 list as close contacts Monday. Robinson has logged one catch in Kansas City's last two games, despite playing at least 65 percent of offensive snaps in both of them. If Robinson is able to continue returning negative tests, he could be cleared to play in the Super Bowl.

No targets on big snap count Robinson didn't draw a target while playing 42 of the Chiefs' 65 offensive snaps (65 percent) in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

Impact With Sammy Watkins (calf) sidelined, Robinson and Byron Pringle (three catches for 22 yards, 80 percent snap share) picked up the majority of the available work behind No. 1 wideout Tyreek Hill, but Mecole Hardman (54 yards and a touchdown on three touches) outproduced both players, despite playing only 35 percent of the snaps. Hardman's big-play ability makes him the most interesting of Kansas City's depth receivers, but he, Robinson and Pringle will all likely be hurt from a playing-time and production standpoint in the likely event that Watkins is able to suit up for the team's Super Bowl matchup with Tampa Bay on Feb. 7.

Catches six passes Robinson caught six of seven targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 38-21 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Robinson tied for his team's lead in targets, but Kansas City's offense wasn't its usual high-flying unit with star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and others being rested ahead of the playoffs. Still, Robinson was able to haul in all but one pass his way, matching his season high with six receptions. Though having teammates Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce back in action for the Chiefs' playoff run should move Robinson down to his usual place in the pecking order, the veteran at least showed relatively well in an expanded role Sunday.

Nabs key touchdown pass Robinson reeled in both of his two targets for 29 yards and a touchdown Sunday versus the Falcons.

Impact Robinson didn't contribute much Sunday but made his pair of looks count by reaching paydirt in what turned out to be the deciding score with just under two minutes remaining. Given that the Chiefs have locked up the No. 1 seed, it's possible some of the usual starters will receive lighter workloads next Sunday, which could open up more looks for Robinson to close out the regular season.

Patrick Mahomes threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Demarcus Robinson with just under two minutes

DECEMBER 27, 2020 • Associated Press

Another miniscule effort Robinson compiled just two catches for 27 yards on three targets Sunday versus the Saints.

Impact Robinson has hit the field somewhere in the 50 in terms of offensive snap percentage over each of the last three weeks with Sammy Watkins back in the fold. At best, Robinson is fourth or fifth in the pecking order for looks in the passing attack, so there remains little upside for him from a fantasy standpoint.
