Jags’ Robinson, Cards’ Johnson among injured
It appears that Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars will be without Allen Robinson for the rest of the season.
A person familiar with the situation said that the receiver suffered a seasonending torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the Jaguars’ season-opening victory at Houston.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the team had not released details of Robinson’s injury.
Robinson landed awkwardly on his left knee while making a catch in the first quarter of Sunday’s 29-7 victory at Houston and did not return. Tests revealed a season-ending injury, the person said.
