Allen Robinson Out for the Season After Suffering Torn ACL vs. Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson exited Sunday's game against the Houston Texans in the first quarter after suffering a knee injury, and the team would later announce it was diagnosed as a left knee ACL injury.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported it's an ACL tear and he'll be out for the rest of the 2017 season.
After eclipsing 1,000 receiving yards and tying for the NFL lead with 14 touchdown receptions in 2015, Robinson took a step backward in 2016.

He caught 73 passes for 883 yards and six touchdowns. In terms of Football Outsiders' DYAR (defense-adjusted yards above replacement), Robinson fell from eighth among qualified wideouts in 2015 to 72nd a year ago.
The blame for Robinson's disappointing season doesn't fall squarely on the 2014 second-round pick since Blake Bortles' regression impacted Jacksonville's entire offense.
Still, the Jaguars were expecting a big year from Robinson in 2017, and now he'll go into free agency having missed almost the entire season.
