Robinson and DT Shy Tuttle (foot) were both unable to practice Wednesday. The thin defensive line unit cannot afford to lose more players. Robinson played through the injury last week but Tuttle was unable to go. Bengals RBs Zack Moss and Chase Brown would have ample room to run if both Panthers players fail to suit up in Week 4.

Fellow defensive lineman Shy Tuttle is listed as doubtful because of a foot injury. Robinson was added to the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday and remained limited on Friday, giving him a shot at suiting up on Sunday. Having already lost Derrick Brown for the year, the Panthers do not need any more injuries in their front seven.

Robinson has played in both games this season, but missed the first practice of Week 3 with a knee injury. The 29-year-old signed with the Panthers in the offseason and is one of the defensive line’s better players since Derrick Brown got hurt. DT Shy Tuttle (foot) also missed practice. If both can practice later in the week, it will be good news for their Week 3 statuses and the Panthers’ defensive line.

Robinson gets a long-term deal in Carolina after one season in New York where he recorded 62 tackles. This move helps the Panthers in a big way as they are looking to improve everywhere on their roster.
