Jaguars star running back James Robinson is unlikely to make an appearance against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday due to an ankle injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN:
Jaguars don’t sound optimistic that RB James Robinson will play Sunday due to the ankle injury that has him questionable, but they want to test him in pre-game warmups before making any decisions, per source.

Undrafted out of Illinois State, Robinson broke out last year as a rookie, becoming the fourth undrafted player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards or more (1070 yards specifically). He also broke the NFL record for most scrimmage yards from any undrafted rookie in the modern era. In 14 games that year, he scored seven rushing touchdowns while also receiving three, proving to be a vital part of the Jacksonville offense.
The running back has still been a bright spot in the offense this season for a struggling Jacksonville Jaguars team that is currently 1-6. With 482 rushing yards currently, he is amongst the top of the leaderboard statistically, and has also scored five touchdowns.
Losing the starting running back could be trouble for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have been at the bottom of team statistics in regards to offensive production. If Robinson is unable to play after a decision is made during pre-game warmups against the Bills, backup Carlos Hyde would be the first player to come off the bench for the Jaguars.
