The New Orleans Saints brought back cornerback Patrick Robinson this offseason hoping he could improve their coverage against slot receivers, but just three games into the season, the team will have to look for other options.
Robinson is expected to go on injured reserve this week after suffering an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons, according to league sources. NFL Network first reported the Saints' plan to put him on the injured list.
Although the initial thought was the Robinson had suffered a high-ankle sprain that would hold him out a few weeks, further testing showed a more significant injury.
