ASHBURN — Washington Redskins strong safety Trenton Robinson is out for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Inside linebacker Keenan Robinson and nose tackle Terrance Knighton are both listed as questionable.
Robinson sustained an unspecified hamstring injury during the Redskins’ 47-14 win against the New Orleans Saints. He was limited on Wednesday, but did not practice on Thursday or Friday.
In last week’s game, Robinson did not play any defensive snaps. Jeron Johnson and DeAngelo rotated at strong safety.
Robinson has been limited all week after sitting out against New Orleans and it appears unlikely he will play. On Thursday, Gruden said Will Compton and Perry Riley were handling the reps. Compton played 96 percent of defensive snaps in place of Robinson.
Knighton returned to practice on Friday after missing Thursday’s session because of an appointment with a specialist regarding his cluster headaches.
“It was more of a follow-up and another piece of information for him to get,” coach Jay Gruden said. “Hopefully they did something to, you know, give some relief to his headaches, his migraines, but he was out here today. He was limited, but he did a lot.”
