But it was clear last year Robbins was one of the worst punters in the NFL. What are you losing if Robbins didnt return?
You are correct Robbins was designated as a return when he was put on the IR but even at that time many people were questioning the wisdom of using one of those IR return spots for such a bad player. We only have 5 spots now for the rest of the regular season. Im guessing Rankins will miss 4 weeks and normally would have been put on the IR to make room for another player but since we only have 5 spots the Bengals dont want to be limited to 4 the rest of the season so they are keeping Rankins inactive. Using one of those IR spots for Robbins was bad decision making on the Bengals part.
