It’s been a long road for Arizona Cardinals rookie defensive lineman Darius Robinson, who appears to be trending toward making his NFL debut on Sunday in Minneapolis. Edge rusher Zaven Collins arrived in Arizona as a first-round pick in 2021, so he understands the scrutiny those players receive.

Cardinals DL Darius Robinson has had a journey different than most NFL rookies. Now healthy, he's more than ready to contribute.

"I'm just taking it one day at a time," Robinson said. "Just excited for the meeting later to watch the tape with my coaches and see where I can get better at from today's practice."

Going back to the Oct. 9 Wednesday, in the portion of practice open to the media, Robinson merely watched his teammates participating in individual drills. The media leaves after those are completed and on that day’s injury report, Robinson was listed as limited, which was surprising considering he did nothing in those individual drills.
