Robinson finished with 135 carries for 582 yards and four touchdowns, and also caught 23 passes for 124 yards. He ran for a career-best 127 yards on the ground in a 24-6 win over Cleveland Oct. 19 and for 108 in the next game against Miami. He was also used in wildcat formations on direct snaps. "I got tackled on like the third play of the game," Robinson said after rush- ing 10 times for 30 yards against the Texans. "I came in and got treatment and they put me in a boot. … It's frus- trating, but, at the same time, I have to keep pushing through. I have to keep fighting." Robinson joins former Wolverines LaMarr Woodley (Oakland, bicep), Steve Schilling (Seattle, knee), Michael Cox (New York Giants, leg) and Jake Long (St. Louis Rams, knee) on season- ending injured reserve.
