Following a big win over the New York Jets, the Arizona Cardinals sit confidently atop the NFC West, and they might soon get a major boost. Coach Jonathan Gannon hinted at Darius Robinson’s impending return with just two words, “very confident,” when asked about the rookie’s status. Robinson, the Cardinals’ 27th overall pick, has been sidelined due to a calf injury since the preseason but showed promising skill during his short preseason stint.
No official return date has been set, though sources suggest a likely return against the Seattle Seahawks after the bye. The rookie defensive end is among several Cardinals players on injured reserve this season, but his potential comeback is expected to energize an already strong defensive lineup that hasn’t allowed a touchdown in their last three home games.
