Bijan Robinson Injury Status + Other Key Injuries in ATL V TB
Bijan Robinson played through a shoulder injury last week and was out carried by Tyler Allgeier. Although they were light walkthroughs, Robinson was limited in Monday and Tuesday’s practices with a hamstring injury.
If Robinson ends up ruled out for Week 5, Tyler Allgeier’s legal Georgia sports betting props will certainly rise. Allgeier had eight rushes for 60 yards last week, while Robinson had seven rushes for 28 yards.
Falcons offensive tackle Kaleb McGary expects to be out for a second consecutive week after suffering a knee injury in Week 3. The Buccaneers injury report has even more players on it, including star receiver Mike Evans.
Evans has a new calf injury that pairs with his lingering knee issue, which kept him out of Monday’s practice and limited him on Tuesday. Fellow receivers Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) aren’t expected to play after missing both light walk-through practices this week, and the same goes for key defensive players in lineman Kalijah Chancey and safety Antoine Winfield.
The messy injury report is something to consider before wagering at NFL sportsbooks, but Wednesday’s practice will be a better indicator of who’s playing and who’s not. If Tampa Bay is without Mike Evans and Antoine Winfield, expect the line to move further in favor of Atlanta.
