Cardinals' first-round pick likely to miss opener vs. Bills

The Buffalo Bills will likely not have to face one of the newest members of the Arizona Cardinals when the two teams faceoff in their 2024 NFL regular season opener.

Defensive lineman Darius Robinson was the Cards’ second of two first-round selections at the 2024 NFL draft. The first was wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. at No. 4 overall. The other was the defensive lineman at the 27th slot.

According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport Robinson is set to miss multiple weeks due to a calf injury. With NFL teams slated to cut their team rosters by Tuesday afternoon, we could see a definitive answer by then.

If Robinson is placed on injured reserve before then, he must miss at least the first four games of the season and cannot practice until Week 5.

Per our friends at Cards Wire, Robinson was having a positive first summer in the NFL with a “great camp and preseason.”

Instead, he will likely miss his professional debut which, at one point, was going to be at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park where the Cardinals will travel to in Week 1.

Bills Wire will provide further updates when information is made available.
