With a second-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft, Allen Robinson was selected by the Jaguars. He played four seasons with Jacksonville before he signed a three-year, $42 million deal to play for the Chicago Bears. Robinson played out that three-year deal with the Bears before signing a one-year deal for the 2021 season. The veteran WR then got a three-year, $46.5 million deal from the Los Angeles Rams. After one season, the Rams traded Robinson to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 2023, Robinson played and started all 17 games for Pittsburgh. He had 34 catches for 280 yards and two touchdowns.

The 31-year-old was with the New York Giants this offseason but he did not make their 53-man roster. Robinson signed with the Lions practice squad and made an appearance in their Week 3 win vs. the Cardinals. Along with Robinson, WR Tim Patrick was signed off the practice squad for their Week 4 matchup. They join a WR core of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Kalif Raymond, and Isaiah Williams. We’ll have to see just how much playing time Robinson gets for the Lions on MNF vs. the Seahawks in Week 4.
