Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson misspoke Friday morning when he said Jacksonville starting left tackle Cam Robinson had cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol.
A Jaguars spokesperson clarified after Pederson’s press conference that Robinson has been cleared to practice but remains in the concussion protocol as of Friday afternoon.
“Cam, right now, I can announce that he’s cleared the protocol,” Pederson said Friday morning. “He’ll be out there at practice today. We’ll see where he’s at, but hopefully he’s good. We have to finish him up and contact and stuff, but he can actually be in practice today. So that’s a good thing.”
Robinson suffered a concussion during Jacksonville’s Week 7, 32-16 win over the New England Patriots. He did not practice Wednesday this week but was available in a limited capacity Thursday, per the Jaguars’ injury report.
Jacksonville’s starting left tackle since his second-round NFL draft selection by the club in 2017, Robinson has appeared in 91 games over eight seasons with the Jaguars.
Fourth-year Jaguars offensive lineman Walker Little would start at left tackle if Robinson can not play against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. One of Jacksonville’s two second-round picks in 2021, Little has appeared in 47 games with the team including 17 starts as a swing lineman.
