Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson left Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks early, but it appears he's steered clear of a serious injury. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Robinson is day to day with a foot problem.
Tests this morning revealed that Jaguars’ RB James Robinson escaped serious injury and he now is expected to be day to day with a foot injury that will leave his status for Sunday vs. Buffalo in question, per source.

This is definitely good news for the Jaguars, considering he is their first stringer. Before exiting in Week 8, Robinson had just four rushes for 22 yards. Carlos Hyde took his place against Seattle. On the season, Robinson has been fairly productive for the 1-6 Jaguars, rushing for 482 yards on 88 carries. The former Illinois State star also has five touchdowns.

Robinson's status for Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills is uncertain, but at least he's not going to be out for a long time. The undrafted sophomore is arguably one of the Jaguars' best players and a key piece of their offense.
The team is towards the bottom of the league in points, passing yards, and third-down conversions. Their only bright spot is their backfield. Without Robinson in the fold, it would be even more distraught times for Urban Meyer's squad. Hopefully, Hyde can provide some production if their RB1 is sidelined next weekend.
