WAN'DALE ROBINSON NEWS

Done for season with ACL tear Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Robinson suffered an ACL tear in his right knee during Sunday's 31-18 loss to the Lions and will require season-ending surgery in the coming day...

Impact Robinson becomes the third member of a depleted Giants receiving corps to suffer a season-ending injury, joining Sterling Shepard (ACL) and Collin Johnson (Achilles). After recovering from another injury to his right knee that limited him to nine snaps over the first five games of the season, Robinson had emerged as one of the few reliable targets for Daniel Jones. In Weeks 6 through 11, the 5-foot-8, 185-pound wideout totaled 22 receptions for 222 yards and a touchdown on 30 targets. Due to the timing of the injury and his upcoming surgery, Robinson is likely to miss the Giants' entire offseason program, and his rehab and recovery could extend into the start of the 2023 season. The Giants now are left with Darius Slayton and Kenny Golladay atop the depth chart at wide receiver, with Isaiah Hodgins, Marcus Johnson, Richie James and David Sills as depth options.

Seen on crutches Robinson (knee) was spotted using crutches after Sunday's 31-18 loss to the Lions, Jaclyn Hendricks of the New York Post reports.

Impact The Giants play again in just four days against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, and while a return timetable has yet to emerge for Robinson, it's hard to imagine him suiting up in Week 12, even in a best-case scenario. Robinson went down at the end of his ninth and final catch against Detroit and was unable to put any weight on his injured right leg. New York will likely provide an update on the rookie receiver's status after running tests on the injury.

Sustains knee injury Sunday Robinson won't return Sunday's game against the Lions due to a knee injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact On the first play of the fourth quarter, Robinson recorded a six-yard reception and was pushed out of bounds. He remained on the ground, though, before trainers helped him to the locker room, as he was unable to put any weight on his right leg. Robinson thus will finish Week 11 action with nine catches (on 13 targets) for 100 yards and one carry for four yards. The Giants have a quick turnaround for a Thanksgiving matchup at Dallas, so he could be in danger of missing time if the injury is at all serious.

Suiting up Sunday Robinson (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Lions.

Impact After feeling tightness in his hamstring at Wednesday's practice, Robinson was held out Thursday before managing another limited session to round out Week 11 prep. Coach Brian Daboll told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com on Friday that Robinson was "trending in the right direction" to suit up Sunday, and that has come to pass. Robinson thus will work in concert with Darius Slayton as the Giants' top options at wide receiver, with Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Isaiah Hodgins likely the next players up at the position.

Questionable for Week 11 Robinson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The rookie slot receiver felt tightness in his hamstring Wednesday and was held out of practice Thursday, but coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Robinson is "trending in the right direction" to play Sunday. Despite seeing only five targets the past two games -- his first two NFL starts -- Robinson has now played more than two-thirds of offensive snaps in three straight appearances and seems locked in as a key part of the Giants' low-volume passing game. Darius Slayton has also been a regular for about a month now, while the other WR spot still appears contested between Kenny Golladay, Isaiah Hodgins and (maybe) Marcus Johnson.

Not practicing, may sit Week 11 Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Robinson (hamstring) won't practice Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Robinson will sit out after Daboll said the rookie's hamstring tightened up on him during Wednesday's practice, resulting in the wideout being listed as a limited participant on the Giants' first Week 11 injury report. Given that Robinson already missed four games earlier this season with a knee injury and now isn't practicing on account of the hamstring issue, he may have a tough time gaining clearance for Sunday's game against the Lions. Kenny Golladay (hamstring) could also be in danger of missing that contest, potentially leaving the Giants with Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Marcus Johnson, David Sills and Richie James as the available options in an already weak receiver room.

Tending to hamstring issue Robinson was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Since sitting out Weeks 2 through 5 due to a knee issue, Robinson has steadily taken on a larger snap share over the Giants' last four games, most recently settling at 76 percent this past Sunday against the Texans. His limitations to begin Week 11 prep may be a precautionary measure, but his activity on the practice field now bears watching Thursday and Friday to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's contest against the Lions.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited impact in Week 10 win Robinson caught both of his targets for 20 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Texans.

Impact Robinson won't enjoy watching the tape from his rushing attempt, as he tried to reverse field rather than settling for a minimal loss and wound up running into a negative play. The rookie's seeing consistent usage in the slot but has only four catches for 35 yards over the past two games after setting career highs with six catches and 50 yards against the Jaguars in Week 7. A visit from the struggling Lions defense should raise Robinson's Week 11 ceiling, but his volume floor remains low in the run-first Giants offense.

'He's well beyond his years': Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson can play key role now and in future Robinson has a big believer in veteran Giants WR Sterling Shepard: “He's well beyond his years, man. He's gonna be great for us.”

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Held to two grabs Sunday Robinson caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact The promising rookie was coming off two solid performances in a row, but Robinson wasn't able to make an impact on an afternoon during which the entire Giants offense struggled. He'll look to recharge his batteries over a Week 9 bye, and if the team's passing game can find another gear in the second half, Robinson figures to be one of the main beneficiaries.

Sidesteps injury report Robinson (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact While Robinson was able to gut out an unknown injury after limping off the field in the first half of this past Sunday's win at Jacksonville, he wasn't targeted after halftime, finishing with six catches (on eight targets) for 50 yards. With a few days to rest up, he was able to avoid the first Week 8 practice report entirely, clearing him to be among quarterback Daniel Jones' top wide receivers Sunday in Seattle.

Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8: Wan'Dale Robinson Emerging Injuries have pushed Wan'Dale Robinson into an expanding role and he's making the most of it.

Giants QB Daniel Jones would not be denied in win over Jaguars

Daniel Jones threw for 200 yards, ran for 100 and continued to make anything work, showing again how valuable he is to the Giants.

OCTOBER 23, 2022

Six first-half catches in win Robinson caught six of eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville.

Impact All eight of Robinson's targets came in the first half, as New York made a concerted effort to get the rookie second-round pick involved early. He limped off the field late in the first half, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, and while Robinson stayed in the game, he wasn't thrown to after halftime. Robinson appeared to be hit below the belt prior to limping off, which would suggest there isn't an injury at play here, but his lack of involvement in the second half makes his status worth monitoring ahead of the Giants' Week 8 trip to Seattle.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

First touchdown in return Robinson recorded three receptions on four targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Ravens.

Impact Robinson returned from a four-game absence caused by a knee injury and immediately stepped into a significant role. He finished tied for second on the team with four targets and was two yards shy of leading the team. Robinson had a few highlights in his performance, including a 17-yard catch and five-yard touchdown reception -- the first of his career. He should maintain his status amongst the Giants' receiving corps, particularly if Kadarius Toney (hamstring) remains sidelined.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Playing in Week 6 Robinson (knee) is listed as active Sunday versus the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Suiting up for the first time since the season opener, Robinson could be limited in his return from a right knee injury after having a cap on his reps during Week 6 prep. The receiving corps has a different breakdown since the rookie second-round pick's last appearance, though, as all of Kadarius Toney (hamstring), Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (ACL, IR) and Collin Johnson (Achilles, IR) are unavailable. This time around, Robinson will be working with Darius Slayton, Marcus Johnson, Richie James and David Sills at wide receiver.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable, but should play Week 6 Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but he's expected to play in the Week 6 contest, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The rookie second-round pick looked as though he was on track to open the season in a prominent role for the Giants, but he played just nine snaps in a Week 1 win over the Titans before succumbing to a right knee injury that has sidelined him ever since. Even though Robinson was a limited participant during practices Wednesday through Friday, the Giants seem to have noticed enough improvement in the wideout's health to make him available Week 6. Robinson's status won't be officially confirmed until the Giants release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, and Raanan suggests that the 21-year-old will likely be "sprinkled in" to the game plan in his return with a light snap count. If Robinson does in fact play Sunday and escapes without any setbacks, he could see his role on offense grow in the weeks that follow.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stays limited in practice Robinson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact With a pair of limited practices to kick off Week 6 prep, Robinson at least appears to have a better chance to play Sunday against the Ravens than either Kadarius Toney (hamstrings) or Kenny Golladay (knee), with both of those receivers having not practiced in any capacity Wednesday or Thursday. Even so, Robinson may need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order for the Giants to feel comfortable making him active this weekend after the rookie second-round pick missed each of the previous four contests. The depleted state of the Giants' receiving corps should leave plenty of reps available for Robinson if and when he's ultimately cleared to play again.

OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Robinson (knee) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Robinson has missed four straight games due to a lingering knee injury. Last week the rookie fourth-round pick began practices with two straight limited sessions before sitting out entirely Friday, but it remains to be seen whether that represented any sort of setback. Meanwhile, Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) are not practicing Wednesday.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Robinson (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact It remains to be seen whether Robinson has suffered an injury setback, but his recovery obviously hasn't progressed as hoped for the Giants. With Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) also out versus Green Bay, Daniel Jones is set to operate with David Sills, Richie James and Darius Slayton as his top wideouts.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Trending in wrong direction Robinson (knee) is not practicing Friday and is trending toward being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Robinson's prospects appeared more optimistic after he practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, but it now looks like the rookie second-round pick may miss a fourth straight week. Friday's official injury report will reveal Robinson's actual initial designation for Sunday, but it's possible that a Giants receiving corps already without Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) could be further depleted versus Green Bay.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Practices in limited fashion Robinson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Even though Robinson's "limited" listing matched his level of participation at Wednesday's practice, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post described the rookie wideout as having an "active day" Thursday during the portion of the session that was open to the media. At the very least, Robinson looks poised to join the Giants on their flight to London later Thursday before practicing in some capacity Friday. If Robinson can upgrade to full participation, he'll be in good position to play Sunday against the Packers, but even another limited showing might be enough for the Giants to sign off on him returning from a three-game absence.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return to practice Robinson (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact This marks Robinson's first on-field work since injuring his right knee Week 1. The rookie second-round pick was joined by Kadarius Toney (hamstring) as a limited participant, while Richie James (ankle) and Kenny Golladay (knee) didn't practice at all. Golladay is slated to sit out this Sunday against the Packers in London, so if Robinson is able to gain clearance to play this weekend, a sizable snap count could be in the cards alongside David Sills considering the overall banged-up nature of the receiving corps.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined in Week 4 Robinson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Robinson will be joined on the sidelines by Kadarius Toney (hamstring), so a Giants receiving corps that lost Sterling Shepard to a season-ending ACL tear earlier in the week will be headlined by Richie James, David Sills and Kenny Golladay on Sunday against the Bears. The return timetable for Robinson remains murky, as the rookie has yet to resume practicing since hurting his knee in his NFL debut.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Robinson (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Robinson hasn't practiced since injuring his right knee in the season opener, but he was seen running sprints on a side field with team trainers Thursday. Kadarius Toney (hamstring) also didn't mix into drills, so with Sterling Shepard (knee) now on injured reserve due to a torn ACL, the Giants current healthy options at wide receiver are Richie James, David Sills, Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton.
