JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Cam Robinson’s knee injury isn’t expected to be a season-ending one, according to a report from the NFL Network, but the team put him on injured reserve Monday afternoon.
Robinson left the game in the first quarter after a Trevor Lawrence incompletion with an injury to his left knee. Robinson was later seen emotional on the sideline and holding a towel over his face. The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that Robinson’s knee injury has a timeline of three to six weeks. That could mean Robinson could realistically be ready for a return by the playoffs. Going on the injured list means that Robinson will miss at least four games.

#Jaguars OT Cam Robinson suffered a knee injury on Sunday, and sources say he has a recovery time of 3-6 weeks. That makes him an Injured Reserve candidate, but barring a setback, he is expected back for the playoffs.

Robinson tore the meniscus in his right knee during a 40-34 overtime win over the Cowboys last year and missed the remainder of the season. He tore the ACL in his left knee in 2018 during a Week 2 game.
Jacksonville coach Doug Pederson didn’t have a firm update on Robinson’s status during Monday’s media availability, but the team made the move to put him on IR several hours later. It moved offensive lineman Chandler Brewer from the practice squad to the active roster, and signed two other offensive linemen, Keaton Sutherland and Jimmy Murray, to the practice squad.
Robinson returned in Week 5 after missing the first four games of the season due to a performance-enhancing drugs suspension. The offensive line had played two of its best games of the season in wins over Tennessee and Houston. His absence means Walker Little will shift back to left tackle and newcomer Ezra Cleveland manning the left guard spot.
