Aldrick Robinson
Player News
Robinson was released by the Panthers on Friday.
Robinson was signed in May and was fighting for a depth role in the Panthers' receiving corps. It doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Robinson is yet to eclipse 400 receiving yards in a single season since entering the NFL in 2011.
Robinson caught his lone target for a 34-yard touchdown in Thursday night's 25-19 preseason win over the Steelers.
Robinson connected with rookie quarterback Will Grier for a score with under two minutes remaining in the first half. Considering that was just his third catch of the preseason, it may not be enough for Robinson to earn a roster spot ahead of the regular season, but he at least gave Carolina something significant to consider.
Robinson (hamstring) is practicing at training camp, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Robinson seems to have moved past the hamstring injury that cropped up during June minicamp. He'll still need to battle for a roster spot, competing for backup work with Jarius Wright, Chris Hogan (back), Torrey Smith and Rashad Ross. The Panthers should have open competition for wideout roles behind presumed starters D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel.
Robinson appeared to injure his right hamstring during Wednesday's minicamp practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.
According to Rodrigue, Robinson went down hard while running a route and had to limp off to the sidelines. The receiver was later seen with a bag of ice strapped to his leg, but Robinson didn't need to leave the field. It's possible the 30-year-old could be held out for the remainder of minicamp with the intention of preparing him for the start of training camp in late July.
