Robinson (6-2, 177), who was on Tampa Bay's gameday roster in Weeks 3-5, has played in 45 career games, making 18 starts, since entering the league as a fourth-round selection (No. 133 overall) by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2016 NFL Draft. Robinson has played for the 49ers (2016-17), the New York Jets (2017-18), Dallas Cowboys (2020) and Buccaneers (2021), compiling 86 career tackles to go along with two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.
