The Seahawks waived Robinson on Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson will head to waivers after spending the first three years of his career in Seattle. The 25-year-old has recorded 44 tackles (26 solo) and five sacks in 30 games played but missed all of last season with a knee injury. Now healthy, Robinson will look to catch on with another team ahead of the start of the season.

Head coach Pete Carroll noted Thursday that "it's going to be a while" before Robinson (knee) returns to practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson ended up on IR for the 2022 season after suffering a knee injury in Seattle's final preseason game. The 2020 fifth-round pick out of Syracuse opted to not get surgery this offseason and there doesn't seem to be a definitive timeline on his return. Robinson played 16 games in 2021, recording 22 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble.

Head coach Pete Carroll said last Monday that Robinson (knee) has had "some issues with his return" and isn't full speed yet, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson suffered a knee injury during the preseason that landed him on injured reserve, but the hope was that he'd be back at some point during the regular season. However, Robinson experienced some setbacks in his rehab and was kept on IR for the entire campaign. It's unclear if Robinson will need offseason surgery to correct the issue, but as of now, Seattle is optimistic that he'll be good to go for next season's training camp.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism Monday that Robinson (knee) can return this season, saying that the linebacker is "running and moving" but still rehabbing, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson sprained the PCL in his knee during Seattle's final preseason game and hasn't yet been able to take the field during the regular season. While Carroll's update Monday is encouraging, it doesn't suggest that Robinson is particularly close to being able to return to game action. When (and if) he is able to play, Robinson will likely work in a reserve role.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Robinson (knee) will not be designated to return to practice Week 9, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson sprained his PCL in late August and was placed on injured reserve ahead of the Seahawks' season opener. The 24-year-old is now eligible to return to practice at any point this season, though this expected timeline remains unclear. Once he is designated to return, Robinson will have a 21-day window to practice and be restored to the active roster, or else he'll revert to Seattle's IR for the remainder of the 2022 campaign.

Robinson (knee) is eligible to return from injured reserve after Week 4, but Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that the linebacker will likely still be out for a few more weeks, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson sprained his PCL during the team's preseason finale and was placed on IR ahead of the season opener. It doesn't sound like he suffered a setback or is in danger of missing the entire season, but it's unclear when he may be activated off IR.

Robinson (knee) was placed on the Seahawks' injured reserve Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson was already ruled out for Seattle's season opener against the Broncos on Monday night due to a sprained PCL, though he will now be forced to miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. When healthy, the 259-pound 24-year-old is expected to slot into a reserve role in the Seahawks' depleted linebacker corps, so it's likely that Tanner Muse could see increased opportunities after being elevated from the team's practice squad Monday, per Crabtree.

Robinson (knee) has been ruled out for Monday night's Week 1 clash against the Broncos, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson suffered the injury in the Seahawks' Aug. 26 preseason game against the Cowboys. His absence could leave the Seahawks thin at linebacker with Jordyn Brooks (hamstring) and Boye Mafe (shoulder) carrying questionable tags going into Friday. Robinson will work to be ready to go for Week 2 against the 49ers.

Robinson (knee) suffered a sprained PCL during Friday's preseason loss to the Cowboys, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In spite of Henderson's early exit Friday, coach Pete Carroll doesn't believe that the defensive end is dealing with a long-term injury. Carroll thinks the 2020 fifth-rounder will have a chance to make it back in time for the Seahawks' season opener against the Broncos on Sept. 12, but his status will likely come into focus based on his participation in practice over the next two weeks.

His status for the Seahawks' Week 1 matchup against the Broncos on Sept. 12 remains to be seen.
