Robinson (calf) is participating in OTAs.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson has recovered from the calf injury he suffered in Carolina's final game of the 2024 season. He projects to play in a rotational role along the defensive line after posting career highs with 5.5 sacks among his 80 tackles last season.

Robinson (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson suffered a calf injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game, and the issue is serious enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of the contest. Jaden Crumedy will see more reps at defensive end with the first-team defense the rest of the way.

Robinson is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta due to a calf injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson was deemed questionable late in the first half. He was putting together a strong performance prior to his departure, racking up five tackles. Jaden Crumedy and Sam Roberts are candidates to step in as long as Robinson remains out.

Robinson (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive end missed the first two practice sessions of the week before participating on a limited basis Friday. Now, the 29-year-old will conclude a productive season in which he's played on at least half of the defensive snaps in all 15 games he's played. Robinson has 75 tackles (42 solo), including 5.5 sacks, a pass breakup and a forced fumble in 2024.

Robinson (neck) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson appears to be trending toward playing in Sunday's divisional matchup, as he upgraded to a limited practice session Friday after opening the week with consecutive DNPs. The 29-year-old has been one of Carolina's most productive defensive players this season, recording 75 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and one forced fumble over 15 appearances. If he's unable to play through his neck injury in Week 18, Jaden Crumedy is likely to see increased work with the Panthers' first-team defense.

Robinson (neck) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson was on the injury report last week due to a knee injury and an illness, but he now appears to be dealing with a neck issue. The veteran defensive end did end up playing this past Sunday against Tampa Bay, but he logged a season-low 50 percent defensive snap share, possibly due to the neck injury. It's not yet clear if Robinson will suit up Sunday versus Atlanta; if he doesn't play, Jaden Crumedy and Sam Roberts could be in line for an increase in defensive snaps.

Robinson (knee/illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being downgraded to a DNP on Friday due to a knee injury and an illness, Robinson has progressed enough over the weekend to be cleared to play Sunday. The 2016 second-round pick has logged 28 tackles (15 solo), including 2.5 sacks, in the five games since the Panthers' Week 11 bye. Robinson will start at defensive end opposite LaBryan Ray, while Jaden Crumedy and Sam Roberts serve as the backups.

Robinson (knee/illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson trended backward in terms of practice participation this week, going from full Wednesday to limited Thursday to DNP on Friday. The Panthers already have three defensive linemen on injured reserve. If Robinson is unable to play Sunday, LaBryan Ray, Jaden Crumedy and Sam Roberts would be left to soak up the snaps on each side of NT Shy Tuttle.

Robinson (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson was able to fully participate in Tuesday's half-speed walkthrough, but he downgraded to a limited participant in Thursday's session due to a lingering knee issue. Robinson would likely fade an injury designation ahead of Sunday's NFC South clash against the Buccaneers if he were able to practice fully Friday. In the five games since the Panthers' Week 11 bye, Robinson has logged 28 tackles (15 solo), including 2.5 sacks.

Robinson recorded seven total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 36-30 overtime win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old didn't record a sack over the Panthers' first six games this year, but he's since turned his season around, tallying 5.5 sacks over Carolina's last eight games. Robinson, a first-year Panther, has also accumulated 73 total tackles, one pass defended and one forced fumble across 14 appearances this season. He's expected to continue serving as one of the Panthers' top pass rushers as the team travels to Tampa Bay in Week 17.
