After sitting out of practice Wednesday, Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (heel) was upgraded to limited participation on Thursday. This comes as coach Urban Meyer says he expects Robinson to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts after he missed Week 9’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
Robinson has been dealing with his injury since the second quarter of Week 8’s game against the Seattle Seahawks on a play where he ran out of bounds and injured his foot trying to hit the brakes. When asked today by First Coast News about the injury, Robinson says the injury still hurts and didn’t want to go on the field if he wasn’t 100%.
