What happened: Robinson remained on the field but did not participate during Back Together Weekend. Atlanta exercised his fifth-year option in April, keeping him under contract through 2027.

Why it matters: The hold-in keeps Atlanta's top offensive player out of team work as the 2026 preseason approaches. A new agreement could reshape pay at running back after his league-leading 2025 production.

By the numbers: Robinson totaled 2,298 yards from scrimmage in 2025: 1,478 rushing and 820 receiving. That ranked 12th in NFL history and set an Atlanta single-season record.

What to watch: Watch for his return to practice or an agreement before Atlanta's preseason schedule begins.
