  • James Robinson: Caught up in roster cuts

    Rotowire

    The Saints released Robinson on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Robinson, who played only one game in 2023 and 11 contests in 2022, couldn't carve out a reserve role for himself behind Alvin Kamara in New Orleans' backfield despite Kendre Miller (hamstring) missing most of training camp and Jamaal Williams having been notably unproductive last season. Since suffering an Achilles tear back in 2021, Robinson has bounced between multiple organizations in the league. He'll look to earn another practice squad opportunity for the 2024 campaign, whether with the Saints or a new club.

  • Saints' James Robinson: Gets reserve/future deal with NO

    Rotowire

    The Saints signed Robinson due to a reserve/future contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Robinson is a four-year veteran with 2,264 career regular-season rushing yards to his name, though nearly half of those came in his rookie season in 2020. An Achilles tear suffered in Week 16 of 2021 derailed his once-promising career, and the Illinois State product has played in only 12 games over the past two seasons, spending almost all of 2023 on Green Bay's practice squad. Robinson joined New Orleans' practice squad in mid-December, and the organization apparently liked what they saw from him enough to want to give him a shot at making the roster next year, though it remains to be seen how much Robinson has left in the tank.

  • James Robinson: Joins Saints' practice squad

    Rotowire

    The Saints signed Robinson to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Prior to the Packers cutting him from their practice squad last Tuesday, Robinson made one appearance for the team, handling one carry for two yards and hauling in his only target for minus-2 yards during a Week 13 win against the Chiefs. Upon joining a new squad, he'll be a part of a Saints backfield that's banged-up behind Alvin Kamara, with Jamaal Williams (groin) limited at Wednesday's practice and Kendre Miller (ankle) again sitting out. Robinson likely doesn't have enough time to acclimate himself to New Orleans' offense ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, but he could factor into the backfield situation if he remains with the the Saints beyond that point.

    Rotowire

    Robinson was cut from the Packers' practice squad Tuesday.

    Robinson has been let go from, then brought back by, Green Bay multiple times this season. However, this time he was let go to make room for another running back, Kenyan Drake, on the practice squad. Whether Robinson will get another chance with the Packers remains to be seen.

  • James Robinson: Back to practice squad

    Rotowire

    Robinson reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.

    Robinson appeared in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Chiefs, producing two yards on his only carry while reeling in a catch for minus-2 yards. With Aaron Jones (knee) potentially unavailable again in Week 14, the running back could be asked to rejoin the active roster again versus the Giants.

    Rotowire

    The Packers elevated Robinson to their active roster Saturday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Green Bay will be without both Aaron Jones (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) in Week 13, so Robinson's elevation will ensure depth at running back behind AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor. Robinson's most recent action came in 2022 with the Jets and Jaguars, when he logged 476 total yards on 121 touches.

    The Packers signed Robinson to their practice squad Wednesday.

    Robinson was waived from Green Bay's active roster Monday but will now rejoin the team, albeit on the practice squad. The 25-year-old will serve as an insurance option at running back as both Aaron Jones (MCL) and AJ Dillon (groin) are dealing with injuries.
