The signing comes as Packers lead back Aaron
Jones has played in just two of five games this season due to a
lingering hamstring injury. Green Bay is coming back from a bye
week and will visit the Denver Broncos Sunday.
Robinson, 25, has yet to play in the NFL this season after
splitting 2022 between the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York
Jets.
He spent portions of the offseason on the New England Patriots'
and New York Giants' rosters but was released by both teams.
Robinson was an undrafted rookie out of Illinois State in 2020
when he racked up 1,070 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns
(seven rushing, three receiving) as a rookie with the Jaguars.
He ran for 767 yards and eight touchdowns in 2021 while
first-round draft pick Travis Etienne missed the season with a
Lisfranc injury. But his role was reduced in 2022 when Etienne
was healthy, and the Jaguars traded him to the Jets for a
sixth-round pick.
Robinson only played in four games for New York and gained 85
yards on 29 carries, adding one receiving touchdown.
