Darius Robinson Debuts in Cardinals' Loss

Darius Robinson made his highly anticipated NFL debut with the Arizona Cardinals in a narrow 23-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings after recovering from a calf injury that sidelined him for the first 12 weeks of the season. Despite playing 22 defensive snaps, Robinson did not record any official stats, although head coach Jonathan Gannon noted his disruptive presence during the game. Robinson himself expressed disappointment in not making a more significant impact, stating, 'I’m a game changer and I didn’t change the game at all.' However, his contributions helped set up a sack for teammate L.J. Collier, demonstrating his potential in the trenches. As the final first-round pick to debut this season, Robinson aims to improve in the coming weeks as he continues to adjust to the NFL level. The Cardinals, who struggle with pressure rates, are hopeful Robinson can develop into a key player on their defensive line.
