Robinson

Robinson was drafted as a return prospect by Herm Edwards and Carl Peterson last year. He lost two fumbles in just eight games and apparently didn’t show well in the offseason program. Robinson will likely clear waivers.

Robinson has excellent timed speed and caught 55 passes as a senior at Utah State, but averaged only 11.6 yards per catch. The Chiefs are looking at him as a return prospect. He’ll battle B.J. Sams for those duties in camp.

He’s eligible to return in Week 7. K.C. drafted Robinson in the sixth round as a candidate to help on returns, but his knee nagged him throughout camp.

Just rounding out the depth chart at wideout, which was extremely thin coming into the draft. Robinson did not have trouble separating in college, but had some consistency issues. He should help immediately in the return game, possibly competing with B.J. Sams to bring back kicks.

The Chiefs have three weeks to decide whether to activate them. They hope Merritt can develop into a solid blocking tight end in the mold of former Chief Jason Dunn.

A sixth-round rookie, Robinson has been sidelined by a knee injury. He should get a look on returns and will likely be worked into the receiver mix as well.
