Professional football player Janarius Robinson, a defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is sidelined due to a broken foot.
Kansas City Chiefs Lose Defensive End Janarius Robinson to Injury
The Kansas City Chiefs have suffered a significant blow to their defensive line, as defensive end Janarius Robinson has been placed on injured reserve after sustaining a fractured foot during Saturday's preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Robinson, a fourth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2021, had been a valuable asset for the Chiefs since joining the team in April. In his brief tenure with the team, he recorded a sack for a 9-yard loss during the Chiefs' 20-17 loss in Glendale, Ariz. on Saturday [6].
Before joining the Chiefs, Robinson played in 16 games (three starts) for the Las Vegas Raiders from 2023-24, recording 1.5 sacks and 13 tackles [7].
The Chiefs have not announced a specific timeline for Robinson's return, and head coach Andy Reid did not provide further details on when he might be back [1][2]. Being on injured reserve generally means Robinson will miss at least the first several weeks of the regular season, but there is a possibility he could reach an injury settlement and return later if he heals sufficiently [3]. However, no official timetable or estimated recovery period has been released by the Chiefs so far.
The Chiefs are not the only team dealing with injuries, as tight end Jake Briningstool, wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, and cornerback Jaylen Watson are all dealing with hamstring, ankle, and concussion injuries, respectively [8]. The team also lost safety Deon Bush to a torn Achilles on Saturday [9].
In a positive note, offensive lineman Ethan Driskell underwent an appendectomy and is expected to make a full recovery [10]. The Chiefs will need to rely on their depth and resilience as they navigate through these injuries and prepare for the upcoming regular season.
