According to Ian Rapoport, the Giants are releasing RB James Robinson as part of their final roster cuts.
He had landed with New York earlier during training camp as extra depth at running back. But at this point, it seems like Robinson’s knee problems have his NFL career on life support.
Some other Giants cuts include:
- DB Darren Evans (Tom Pelissero)
- OT Julie’n Davenport (Aaron Wilson)
- WR Jaydon Mickens (Pelissero)
- DT Kevin Atkins (Dan Duggan)
Robinson, 24, wound up going undrafted out of Illinois State in 2020. He made the team’s 53-man roster and was named their starting running back. Robinson then went on to break the record for most scrimmage yards by an undrafted rookie.
The Jaguars traded Robinson to the Jets midseason in 2022 for a sixth-round pick. New York declined to tender him as a restricted free agent and he signed a two-year deal with the Patriots.
New England opted to release Robinson last month. He caught on with the Giants in August.
In 2022, Robinson appeared in 11 games for the Jaguars and Jets, rushing for 425 yards on 110 carries (3.9 YPC) to go along with 11 receptions for 51 yards receiving and five total touchdowns.
