Cardinals' Darius Robinson: Logs limited session Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Robinson has been nursing a calf issue for the majority of his rookie campaign, but he's played through the injury over the last three weeks, so Wednesday's limited session is likely precautionary. However, the 2024 first-round pick could be in jeopardy of missing time if he downgrades to a DNP on Thursday or Friday.

Cardinals' Darius Robinson: Arizona swoops in
Rotowire
The Cardinals selected Robinson in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 27th overall.
Robinson took some time to develop into a star at Missouri but once things clicked, they clicked in a big way. It culminated in Robinson being named first-team All-SEC as a fifth-year senior in 2023 on the strength of 8.5 sacks and 14.0 tackles for loss. At 285 pounds with offensive tackle-level arm length (34.5), he's a powerful rusher who can stand up against the run (43 tackles in 2023). Look for Robinson to challenge either Zaven Collins or BJ Ojulari for defensive end snaps right away.
