The Facts: Despite tearing his Achilles last December, Robinson did not start training camp on the physically unable to perform list. But that doesn’t mean he’ll be ready to go when the Jaguars take on the Commanders to open the regular season. Robinson has been practicing, but he’s not yet full go. On Thursday, HC Doug Pederson said the running back is at a place where he’s “almost there,” but still needs a few more days.

Diehards Line: Robinson won’t play in Jacksonville’s preseason matchup with Pittsburgh this week. But the club will continue to gradually ramp up Robinson’s workload to get him ready for Week 1. “It’s the expectation, it’s kind of the hope that he can be there at that point,” Pederson said. “And, listen, if not, it’s OK. We’re comfortable with the guys behind him and we’ll go with what we have.” Notably, the Jaguars also have Travis Etienne Jr. returning from an injury that had him miss the entire 2021 season, but Etienne has been full go throughout the preseason.
