Tigers in the NFL: Darius Robinson embraces D-Line Zou with first sack of 2025
In a tight Thursday night contest, Darius Robinson gave Missouri faithful something to cheer for.
The former Tigers defensive end recorded his first sack of his second season in the NFL. Robinson — who missed the majority of his rookie year due to injury — also logged three tackles, two solo and two for loss.
Robinson missed the end of Arizona Cardinals’ Week 4 contest due to a chest injury. He has tallied four tackles and one sack through four games this season. Arizona lost its second game of the season, 23-20, on a walk-off field goal from Jason Myers.
Robinson was not seen at practice Monday, according to Cardinals reporter Paul Calvisi.
Bolton & Burden
Although not the leading tackler Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs’ Nick Bolton assisted in a dominant performance over a conference foe, the Baltimore Ravens. The fifth-year linebacker recorded six tackles, three solo, while also landing one hit on quarterback Lamar Jackson in a 37-20 victory to improve to 2-2.
After a career day for the Chicago Bears in Week 3, Luther Burden III didn’t provide as much to the offensive statistically this past Sunday. The rookie wideout got tagged for -4 yards on two receptions. The former five-star totaled 46 yards on two kickoff returns with a long of 23. The Bears picked up a second consecutive win, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders on a blocked field goal, 25-24.
