Former Kentucky star Wan'Dale Robinson leaves Giants game early with knee injury

Former Kentucky star Wan’Dale Robinson has officially been ruled out of the Giants vs. Titans game on Sunday afternoon, due to suffering a knee injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He’d been impressing many people throughout the preseason and for much of the offseason, so the injury news is unfortunate.

Robinson proved himself as a playmaker this past season with the Kentucky Wildcats. He also spent the first two years of his career with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

He was selected by the New York Giants with the No. 43 overall selection in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

After transferring to Kentucky this past offseason, Robinson had a breakout campaign. In just one season at with the Wildcats, Robinson caught a team-high 104 passes and had 1,334 receiving yards, setting single-season school records. He had six 100-yard games in the 2021 season, which ranks second on Kentucky’s single-season list. He joined Randall Cobb as only the second receiver in school history to have 12 or more receptions in multiple games during their career. He also became just the sixth player in SEC history to catch at least 100 passes in a season.

A former four-star recruit in the class of 2019, Robinson ranked as the No. 12 receiver and No. 54 player according to On3 Consensus Rankings, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average. He chose to attend Nebraska over offers from big-time schools such as Alabama, Michigan and Ohio State. Robinson’s playmaking ability was still on display in Lincoln as he ended his two-year career with 91 catches for 914 yards and three touchdowns. He was also utilized as a running back there, totaling 580 yards rushing and four touchdowns.
