When Mark Robinson was included in a jumbled list of Pittsburgh Steelers roster cuts two days before the deadline, many fans were surprised. Robinson spent his first three seasons as a special teams ace. Over the past two years, Robinson played in all 38 games while logging 603 snaps on special teams.
Quickly after being released by the Steelers ahead of roster cuts, Robinson landed back on his feet—signing with the New England Patriots' practice squad.
This loss doesn't appear significant on paper. The Steelers elected to keep rookie Carson Bruener as the team's fifth linebacker and send Robinson packing.
