Patriots Elevate Former Steelers LB Mark Robinson To Active/Inactive Roster Ahead Of Week 3

The New England Patriots might be giving linebacker Mark Robinson a chance to get back at his old team.

The Patriots announced they are elevating Robinson off of the practice squad to the active/inactive roster ahead of the Week 3 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.

Along with Robinson, the Patriots are elevating defensive back Kobee Minor, too, after star cornerback Christian Gonzalez was ruled out Saturday.

Robinson spent the first three seasons of his career with the Steelers after being a seventh-round pick out of Ole Miss, where he played linebacker for one season following the start of his collegiate career at Southeast Missouri State as a running back.
