Jaguars Place LT Cam Robinson on IR
The Jacksonville Jaguars officially placed left tackle Cam Robinson on injured reserve, leaving them without their blindside blocker for at least the next four weeks.
Robinson suffered a knee injury in the first-quarter of the Jaguars’ Week 12 win over the Houston Texans, but he could return in the playoffs.
Robinson, who missed the first four games of 2023 due to suspension, has started the last seven games at left tackle and is the second-most experienced player on the Jaguars’ offensive line.
“Yeah, we just know it’s his left knee. He’s getting further testing today, we’ve got a couple of days here to see and make a determination for this game coming up Monday night,” Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday. “The benefit is we’ve got the extra day. We’re going to continue to monitor him these next few days and see how he feels coming back on Thursday.”
Robinson left Sunday’s game after 12 snaps, which moved Ezra Cleveland to left guard and Walker Little to left tackle, where he started the first four games of the season.
“He’s a big part of the offensive line and it’s been great after his suspension to get back in there. He does bring a lot of energy and a level of physicality to the offensive line. He’s been a really big bright spot there. If he can’t go, we’re still good,” Pederson said.
“Just like you saw yesterday, Walker Little bounces back out to left tackle and my hat is off to him and Ezra [Cleveland] both. In an extremely loud environment, on the road, Walker got very few tackle reps during the week and has to bounce out there and play tackle. Ezra has to go in and play left guard. My hat’s off to both of those guys and what they did. Again, if Cam can’t go, it’s a loss, but at the same time, we feel comfortable with the guys stepping up.”
