Robinson, a fourth-round pick out of Texas, appeared in 11 games as a rookie but had his season cut short due to a torn right pectoral that required surgery. He played mainly special teams and just 69 snaps on defense, recording 11 tackles. Washington has four linebackers scheduled for free agency in addition to London Fletcher, who has yet to commit to a 16th season.
