“As a veteran locker room leader, I always want to set a good example and my actions in this instance are not a reflection of that goal,” he said. Robinson in a statement issued by the team. “I apologize to the fans, my coaches, and most of all, my teammates. It hurts me that I won’t be able to be there with my teammates at the start of the regular season. I will attack training camp the same way I have for the last few six seasons, to make sure I’m mentally and physically ready.”
Los Jaguars They added that, although they were “disappointed by this fact”, they are “confident that Cam and our team will rise above this challenge as we collectively move forward.”
Walker Little will play left tackle, and the Jaguars they will start with the first round rookie Anton Harrison at right tackle, with the veteran Josh Wellswho they signed for a season last April, serving as a backup for both flanks. Little has started eight games (including playoffs) instead of Robinson at left tackle for the past couple of seasons with injuries.
When Robinson come back, the Jaguars will probably move to Little to the interior, to left guard, where he will compete with Ben Bartch per game minute.
Robinson ranked 59th in the league in pass-block win rate between offensive tackles in 2022, according to data from ESPN Stats & Information. He missed the final three games of the regular season and the two playoff games of the Jaguars after sustaining a knee injury in the overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys on December 18.
