Titans Receive Encouraging Injury Update on Wan’Dale Robinson

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson received encouraging news after leaving Wednesday’s joint practice with the Chicago Bears.

ESPN’s Ian Rapoport reported on X that Robinson is “not believed to have suffered” a concussion. The Titans will continue monitoring him, but early signs remain positive.

Robinson was evaluated after taking a heavy hit over the middle from Bears safety Xavier Woods. Titans head coach Robert Saleh called the hit “cheap” after the practice.

The update matters for Tennessee after the team made Robinson a major part of its offensive plans. The wide receiver signed a four-year, $70 million contract with $38 million guaranteed during the offseason.

Robinson also reunited with Brian Daboll, his former Giants head coach. Daboll now serves as Tennessee’s offensive coordinator and should have a strong understanding of Robinson’s strengths.

The receiver enters the season after his best NFL campaign. Robinson caught 92 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns for New York in 2025.

Those numbers helped make him a major offseason addition for a Titans offense built around quarterback Cam Ward. Tennessee needs Robinson’s quickness and slot production to help develop its young quarterback.

The Titans finished 3-14 last season, leading to major changes across the organization. Saleh took over as head coach, while Daboll joined his staff to lead the offense.

That structure makes Robinson’s health especially important. Tennessee invested heavily in him, and his role could expand as the team builds around Ward.

So clearly, the Titans appear to have avoided a major setback. Robinson still needs to clear continued monitoring before returning to full football activity.

Rapoport noted the “positive early indications” while stressing that the team will watch for symptoms. Tennessee’s priority should remain Robinson’s health rather than rushing him back.

If he remains symptom-free, the Titans could have their key offensive weapon available for the September 13 regular-season opener against the New York Jets.
