Dominique Robinson Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Packers vs Bears game on Saturday with our National Football League injury report.Dec 5, 2025
Ready for Sunday
Robinson (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Robinson practiced in full all week, suggesting he's cleared concussion protocol in time to play in the Week 14 divisional matchup. The fourth-year pro has appeared in nine games this season, recording 13 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. Now fully healthy, he's expected to play as one of Chicago's top defensive ends Sunday.
Dec 3, 2025
Returns to full practice
Robinson (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Robinson missed Chicago's Week 13 win over the Eagles due to a concussion. His return to practice is a good sign, though it's unclear if he has cleared the league's concussion protocol yet -- the final step before he's cleared to return for a Week 14 showdown with the Packers.

Not playing Friday
Robinson (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
The defensive end has been listed as a non-participant throughout the practice week, so his status is not a surprise. Robinson has played about as often on special teams as defense this year.
Nov 25, 2025
In concussion protocol Tuesday
Robinson (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on the Bears' practice estimate Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Robinson suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game versus the Steelers, and now he's in danger of missing Friday's contest at Philadelphia. Unless he's able to return to the practice field Wednesday or Thursday, it's unlikely he'll be available in Week 13.

Departs Sunday due to head injury
Robinson is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 12 game against Pittsburgh, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson was shaken up while making a tackle on Jaylen Warren early in the fourth period. He's since been pulled out of the game to be evaluated for a concussion. Austin Booker could get more defensive snaps if Robinson is unable to return.
Nov 13, 2025
Returns to full participation
Robinson (ankle) returned to full practice participation Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Robinson upgraded to full participation Thursday after logging a limited practice due to an ankle injury Wednesday. This points toward the starting defensive end being able to suit up Sunday against the Vikings. If Robinson stays a full participant and is good to go for Sunday's game, Austin Booker will likely return to operating in a more rotational capacity.
Nov 7, 2025
Won't play against Big Blue
Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Robinson will miss a second consecutive game due to a high-ankle sprain, which has also prevented him from practicing since sustaining the injury against the Ravens in Week 8. Austin Booker should continue to see a heavier workload at defensive end in Robinson's absence.
Oct 31, 2025
Ruled out for Week 9
Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Robinson's absence comes as no surprise, as the fourth-year pro is working through a high-ankle sprain that he sustained in Week 8 against the Ravens and is a candidate for injured reserve. Daniel Hardy and Austin Booker will serve as the Bears' rotational defensive ends behind Dayo Odeyingbo and Montez Sweat in Robinson's absence.
Oct 27, 2025
Diagnosed with high-ankle sprain
Robinson is expected to be sidelined "for a few weeks" due to a high-ankle sprain that he sustained during the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson sustained the injury during the opening kickoff of Sunday's game and was unable to return. He is a candidate to land on injured reserve given the severity of the injury, which would force him to miss at least the next four games. The fourth-year pro has served on both special teams and on defense as a rotational defensive end, so his absence will mean more defensive snaps for Daniel Hardy and starters Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo.
Oct 26, 2025
Exits with ankle injury
Robinson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Robinson appeared to sustain the injury during the opening kickoff, per Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune. Daniel Hardy should see more rotational snaps at defensive end for as long as Robinson is being evaluated by medical staff on the sidelines.
Oct 14, 2025
Adds 0.5 sacks in win
Robinson posted three tackles and 0.5 sacks in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Commanders on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Robinson has recorded 1.5 sacks over five games while averaging 1.8 stops making him a low-floor IDP when he doesn't generate a sack.
Sep 22, 2025
Best game of season
Robinson recorded four tackles and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Robinson was quiet in Chicago's first two games, but he came up big against the Cowboys. Until the defensive end can put together some consistency, he'll be tough to trust in IDP lineups.
Aug 24, 2025
Quick return from ankle issue
Robinson played 23 defensive snaps in Friday's 29-27 preseason win over the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Robinson had been sidelined for a few days following the Bears' second preseason contest due to an ankle injury. While he didn't log any stats in his return, he should be ready for a rotational role along the defensive line in a Week 1 matchup against the Vikings.
Aug 17, 2025
Dealing with ankle injury
Robinson (ankle) is doubtful to return to Sunday's preseason contest versus the Bills, Adam Jahns of AllCHGO.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson failed to record any stats before suffering an ankle injury, which will likely bring his night to a premature end. The defensive end's status will be worth monitoring at practice this week ahead of Chicago's preseason finale versus the Chiefs on Friday.
Jan 8, 2023
Rotational role as rookie
Robinson posted one tackle in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 30 tackles and 1.5 sacks over 17 games played.
ANALYSIS
After being drafted in the fifth round of the 2022 draft, Robinson averaged 30 snaps per game in a rotational role. Aside from three weeks when he had at least five tackles, he had two or fewer tackles in most of his games. It's very possible that his role grows as he goes into his second season. He's under contract through 2025.
Sep 11, 2022
Big performance in NFL debut
Robinson notched 1.5 sacks and seven tackles in the Bears' 19-10 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With the 49ers running the ball 37 times along with the game being played in a heavy rainstorm, Robinson took advantage of the opportunity by being a part of both Chicago sacks. Although it's unlikely he's rostered in most IDP leagues, if he has another strong game, he could become a priority waiver add.
Sep 11, 2022
Ready for Sunday
Robinson (knee) will play Sunday against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Robinson was able to get in a full practice Friday after being limited earlier in the week. The 24-year-old will provide defensive line depth, as they host San Francisco on Sunday.
Aug 27, 2022
Suffers leg injury Saturday
Robinson was forced out of Saturday's preseason finale versus the Browns early with a leg injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Robinson went down early in the contest with what has been described as a leg injury. He is unlikely to return to the contest and will now look to be ready for Week 1 against the 49ers on Sept. 11, which he can now be considered questionable for.
Apr 30, 2022
Heads to Windy City
The Bears selected Robinson in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 174th overall.
ANALYSIS
Recruited as a quarterback at Miami of Ohio who moved to receiver early in his college career, Robinson grew into a 6-foot-5, 253-pound force off the edge later on with the RedHawks. Robinson had an impressive showing at the combine to cement his status in the draft, including a 41-inch vertical. He's short on production but has tools and upside that make him a worthwhile bet for Chicago at this stage of the draft.
