Overview

  • New England announced the roster move Sunday as part of its reductions before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET 53-man deadline.
  • Robinson, a 2024 fourth-round pick out of Texas A&M, appeared in 13 games with 11 starts as a rookie, playing both guard spots.
  • Under new coach Mike Vrabel this preseason, Robinson logged 33 offensive snaps and 11 on special teams and was not in the current guard rotation.
  • The Patriots list 76 players on the active roster, with the league’s waiver-claim window closing Wednesday at 12 p.m. ET following final cuts.
  • The decision reflects a broader reassessment of the 2024 draft class, as the Boston Globe reports only Drake Maye, Caedan Wallace, and Javon Baker remain in contention while Ja’Lynn Polk is set for shoulder surgery, Marcellas Dial Jr. is on injured reserve with a torn ACL, Joe Milton was traded to Dallas, and Jaheim Bell was waived.
