After inking Andrew Whitworth to a three-year, $33.75 million contract in March, the Los Angeles Rams had little need for Greg Robinson. The former second overall pick struggled mightily in his three seasons with the Rams, leading to his departure by way of a trade.

In June, Los Angeles sent him to the Detroit Lions for a sixth-round pick. This came after left tackle Taylor Decker went down with a shoulder injury, opening up a spot on the offensive line. That position has seemingly been filled by Robinson, who’s listed as Detroit’s starting left tackle on the first unofficial depth chart.

Robinson has been splitting reps with Cyrus Kouandjio, whom the Lions signed in June, so it’s not as if he’s locked down the starting job for the regular season. Detroit simply sees him as the starter right now, with the possibility that it’ll change between now and the start of the regular season.

Not to mention, Decker will return eventually, likely some time between October and December. Thus, Robinson’s stay as the starter could be short-lived.

Matthew Stafford just has to avoid pressure off his backside for a few months until Decker is able to get back on the field. Jared Goff and Case Keenum know the feeling of consistent pressure off the left side of the line.
