BIJAN ROBINSON NEWS

Managing hamstring injury Robinson (hamstring) is listed as 'limited' on Monday's estimated practice report, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Robinson played a season-low 61 percent of offensive snaps during Atlanta's 26-24 win over New Orleans in Week 4, handling just seven carries for 28 yards compared to Tyler Allgeier's eight rushes for 60 yards. It appears that a hamstring issue may have been responsible for Robinson's uncharacteristically low workload, though he did still secure all four of his targets for 46 yards versus the Saints. The Falcons have a short week to prepare for another tough divisional matchup against the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football, so the team may opt to cap Robinson's reps in practice with the hopes of keeping him fresh.

Takes back seat against Saints Robinson carried the ball seven times for 28 yards and caught all four of his targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over New Orleans.

Impact The 11 touches were a season low for Robinson, and Tyler Allgeier actually led the Falcons' backfield with eight totes for 60 yards. Robinson's contributions as a pass-catcher have kept his floor afloat in PPR formats, but the eighth overall pick in the 2023 Draft has now posted lackluster yardage totals in two straight games as the Atlanta offense as a whole has had trouble moving the ball. He could bounce back in Week 5 against a Buccaneers defense that's had trouble against the run so far in 2024.

Cleared to face New Orleans Robinson (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact The Falcons added Robinson to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, but it's apparently not a significant concern after he logged a full practice Friday and avoided a game designation. He should be fine to handle his usual heavy workload in Atlanta's first divisional game of the year, facing a Saints defense that won't have star linebacker Demario Davis (hamstring).

Dealing with shoulder issue Robinson was limited at Thursday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Robinson wasn't included on Atlanta's first Week 4 practice report Wednesday, so his status in the midst of preparations for Sunday's game against the Saints has become clouded. Friday's session likely will be key for the second-year pro to enter the weekend without a designation. Through three contests this season, Robinson has averaged 4.1 yards on his 48 carries, hauled in 11 of 12 targets for 89 yards and scored one rushing touchdown.

Scores lone rushing TD in loss Robinson rushed 16 times for 31 yards and a touchdown while adding 21 yards on two receptions (two targets) in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Robinson was finally stymied in his third game as a sophomore, failing to break the century mark in total yards since Week 17 of his rookie season. The former Texas Longhorn did provide fantasy managers with his first touchdown of the campaign, helping offset what would have been a negative report from Sunday's loss. Robinson remains the lead back in Atlanta heading into a pivotal NFC South matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Another strong all-around effort Robinson rushed 14 times for 97 yards and brought in four of five targets for 25 yards in the Falcons' 22-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night. He also recovered a fumble.

Impact Robinson once again was kept busy throughout the night, logging just one fewer touch than the 23 he'd recorded in Week 1 against the Steelers. Robinson was more efficient with his rush attempts Monday than he had been against the Steelers in the opener, and he was consistent throughout the night while recording a long run of a modest 19 yards. Robinson's usage under new coordinator Zac Robinson has been encouraging, and he'll undoubtedly play another robust role when the defending champion Chiefs come calling for a Week 3 Sunday night showdown.
