1 year agoThe New Orleans Saints signed veteran running back
James Robinson to a futures deal on Monday. The move to keep Robinson around heading into the 2024 season comes after he was added to New Orleans' practice squad in early December. The 25-year-old was brought in to provide running back depth behind
Alvin Kamara,
Jamaal Williams and rookie
Kendre Miller, who missed Weeks 10-17 with an ankle sprain. Before landing a deal with the Saints, Robinson spent time with the Green Bay Packers' practice squad and was active in Week 13, only to see one carry for two yards while catching one pass for a loss of two yards against the Kansas City Chiefs. The former undrafted rookie free agent had a 1,000-yard season in his rookie year in 2020 with the Jacksonville Jaguars out of nowhere but hasn't been the same since and has been passed around the league as RB depth.

1 year agoThe New Orleans Saints signed free-agent running back
James Robinson on Tuesday, according to a league source. The former undrafted rookie that put up 1,000 yards in 2020 with the Jacksonville Jaguars continues to be passed around as RB depth in 2023 after his latest stint with the Green Bay Packers. The 25-year-old was active for one game with the Packers in Week 13 and had one carry for two yards and caught his only target for a two-yard loss on four offensive snaps. In New Orleans, Robinson will provide running back depth behind
Alvin Kamara and
Jamaal Williams. Rookie
Kendre Miller (ankle) continues to battle an ankle injury and has missed the last four games. It's unlikely we'll see Robinson in a game for the Saints to close out 2023.

1 year agoThe Green Bay Packers released running back
James Robinson from their practice squad on Tuesday. Robinson has been shuffled back and forth by the team a few times throughout the season. He appeared in one game for the Packers, taking one carry for two yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. The team released Robinson to make room for newly signed
Kenyan Drake, who will take his place on the practice squad. Robinson will now look to catch on with another team.

1 year agoGreen Bay Packers running back
James Robinson has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Packers are going to be without
Aaron Jones (knee) and Emmanuel Wilson (shoulder) for Sunday's game. The move to bring up Robinson gives the Packers depth behind
AJ Dillon and
Patrick Taylor. This is mainly a depth move, so it seems unlikely that Robinson is going to have a significant impact. Fantasy managers can expect a bigger workload for Dillon this weekend with Taylor and Robinson possibly mixed in for a few snaps.
