After practice, Titans head coach Robert Saleh criticized the hit, labeling it a “cheap” shot that prompted Robinson to exit for concussion evaluation. Video and reports described Robinson walking into the facility on his own after the collision, while teammates reacted strongly to the hit.
Robinson, a four-year NFL veteran, joined the Titans this offseason on a four-year, $70 million contract. He is 25 years old and comes off a productive season with his former team, the New York Giants, where he posted 92 receptions for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. Despite his compact size at 5-foot-8, Robinson has been a frequent target, recording 140 targets in each of the past two seasons with the Giants. With the Titans, he is expected to be a key contributor in the wide receiver room.
In Tennessee’s plans for the offense, Robinson is expected to align with Calvin Ridley, a veteran who has been with the team for several seasons, and Carnell Tate, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Robinson’s contract and past production suggest he could command a significant number of targets again this season as the Titans look to bolster their passing attack.
Head Coach Saleh indicated that the team intends to play its starters for roughly 25 snaps in Saturday’s preseason finale against the Bears. The Titans have already used their first two preseason games to gauge how the squad will look in the regular season. They opened with a 19-13 win over the San Francisco 49ers and followed with a 19-16 victory against the Seattle Seahawks.
As the preseason progresses, the Titans will continue to monitor Robinson’s status and determine his involvement for the upcoming season. The broader WR group, including Ridley and Tate, will also be evaluated to optimize depth and playmaking ability for the offense.
If you’re following the Titans closely, expect more updates on Robinson’s injury status and the final preseason preparations as game day approaches.
