Cleared to return for Week 11
Robinson has cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Commanders, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson sustained a concussion in Miami's Week 9 loss to Baltimore and sat out the Week 10 win over Buffalo, but he has gained clearance from an independent neurologist and will return against the Commanders in Madrid. The 2024 first-round pick has been held to one sack in nine appearances this season after registering 6.0 sacks in his rookie campaign.

Tracking toward Week 11 return
Robinson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Robinson was unable to play in the Dolphins' Week 10 win over the Bills while in the league's concussion protocol. His ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, but he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be available for Sunday's game against the Commanders in Madrid, Spain. Robinson's return would result in less snaps at defensive end for Matthew Judon.
Nov 8, 2025
Won't play against Buffalo
Robinson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson managed to practice Friday in a limited capacity, but he will remain in the league's concussion protocol and not play in Sunday's AFC East tilt. His absence means Andre Carter and Matthew Judon should see an uptick in snaps at defensive end opposite starter Bradley Chubb in Week 10. Robinson's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Unlikely to play vs. Bills
Robinson (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus Buffalo, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Perkins, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday, "I'm prepared for him not to play, but not ruling it out." Further hurting Robinson's chances is the fact that he'll need to clear league concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up in Week 10. If Robinson is indeed sidelined, veteran Matthew Judon would figure as a candidate to start on the edge opposite Bradley Chubb.

Questionable for Sunday
Robinson (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 first-round pick was able to log a limited practice Friday, but is still unlikely to be able to suit up for Sunday's game. If Robinson is unable to go, the Dolphins will have to rely more on their rotational defensive end Matthew Judon.
Nov 5, 2025
Sidelined Wednesday
Robinson (concussion) is not practicing Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 first-round pick from Penn State sustained a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Ravens, so it's no surprise that he's missing Wednesday's practice. Although Robinson hasn't been ruled out for the Week 10 matchup against the Bills, head coach Mike McDaniel didn't sound too optimistic about his availability Sunday, per Louis-Jacques.

Ruled out Thursday
Robinson (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday night's game against the Ravens, C. Isaiah Smalls II of The Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive end left the game earlier in the first half to get evaluated for a possible concussion. Robinson made one tackle before exiting. Matthew Judon is his backup.
Oct 30, 2025
Might have concussion
Robinson is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
The defensive end recorded one tackle before exiting. Matthew Judon should see more snaps in his absence.
Sep 18, 2025
Active Thursday
Robinson (knee) is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Bills.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 first-round pick was listed as a limited participant throughout the practice week leading up to this game. Robinson logged 36 and 21 defensive snaps, respectively, in Miami's first two contests, and he has three solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, on the season.
Sep 17, 2025
Questionable to face Bills
Robinson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's road game against Buffalo, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson has been listed as limited in practice leading up to Thursday's contest, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up, though two of Miami's three sessions were merely estimates. The second-year pro played just 38 percent of defensive snaps during the Dolphins' loss to the Patriots in Week 2, but he made an impact with two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks.
Sep 16, 2025
Limited with knee issue
Robinson was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a knee injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson likely picked up the injury during the Dolphins' Week 2 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, when he logged two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks. If he's not cleared to play against the Bills on Thursday, veteran Matthew Judon would be in line to see a significant increase in defensive snaps opposite fellow edge rusher Bradley Chubb.

Returns to practice Thursday
Robinson (ribs) is participating in team drills Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson was injured in Wednesday's joint practice with the Lions, but he's back to practicing the next day. A rib injury was the source of his early departure from Wednesday's practice, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. The 2024 first-round pick is looking to build on a promising rookie season in which he picked up 6.0 sacks.

Avoids major injury
Robinson (undisclosed) relayed Wednesday that the injury he suffered during practice is "nothing serious," Nick Pugliese and Tom D'Angelo of The Palm Beach Post report.
ANALYSIS
Robinson had to be carted off the field during the Dolphins' joint practice with the Lions, but the good news for Miami and the 2024 first-rounder is that he appears to have faded a serious injury. He'll undergo further testing over the coming days to determine the exact nature and severity of the injury and whether he'll be able to return to practice over the coming weeks.

Exits practice early
Robinson (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Wednesday's joint practice with the Lions, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Robinson's injury is still unknown. However, the team will be without a major piece of their front seven should the 22-year-old miss extended time. Miami's 2024 first-round pick made an immediate impact on defense last season, accounting for 26 tackles (16 solo), including six sacks, with starters Jaelan Phillips (knee) and Bradley Chubb (knee) missing a majority of the team's regular-season games.

Logs six sacks in rookie season
Robinson registered 26 tackles (16 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and four pass defenses across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Robinson was Miami's first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he made an immediate impact for a Dolphins' defense that lost Jaelan Phillips (knee) after Week 4 and didn't have Bradley Chubb (knee) play in a single regular-season game. Robinson finished second on the team in sacks behind Zach Sieler (10.0), and the former finished second among NFL rookies behind Braden Fiske (8.5). Robinson earned a spot on ESPN's Ben Solak's 2024 NFL All-Rookie Team, and the Penn State product will look to carry that momentum into the 2025 campaign.
Dec 17, 2024
Productive in Week 15 loss
Robinson had two tackles (one solo) including 1.5 sacks during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans in Week 15.
ANALYSIS
Robinson now, across 14 appearances in his rookie campaign, has racked up 21 tackles (twelve solo), including 5.0 sacks. He's also tallied three passes defensed. The rookie first-round pick will work to close out the year strong, with Sunday's game against the 49ers representing the first of three remaining regular-season contests.
Nov 25, 2024
Continues to impress
Robinson recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, and defended two passes in Sunday's 34-15 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Despite the rookie from Penn State not recording a sack until Miami's Week 9 loss to the Bills, he's just 0.5 sacks shy of the team lead. Robinson has stepped up over the Dolphins' last four contests, tallying eight total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and defending two passes. He's also registered a whopping 25 pressures during this four-game span and is expected to continue improving as the season progresses.
Nov 12, 2024
Sacks Stafford in Week 10
Robinson logged two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during Monday's 23-15 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick was responsible for one of the Dolphins' four sacks Monday as he took down Matthew Stafford for a 10-yard loss early in the first quarter. Robinson has now registered a sack in back-to-back outings and is up to 13 tackles (eight solo) through the first nine games of the regular season.
