Robinson Evaluated for Concussion After Joint-Practice Collision
During a joint training-camp practice between the Tennessee Titans and the Chicago Bears, Titans wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson was struck by Bears safety Xavier Woods. The impact prompted Titans staff to send Robinson to the medical tent for a concussion evaluation. Early tests indicated no concussion, and the team will continue to monitor him for any delayed symptoms.
Background & Context
Robinson, a 25-year-old second-round pick from the 2022 draft, spent his first four NFL seasons with the New York Giants, appearing in 54 games and recording 92 receptions for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns in the 2025 season. He signed a four-year free-agent contract with Tennessee in March 2026, reuniting with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who previously coached the Giants. The Titans entered camp with a relatively healthy roster, and Robinson had emerged as a leading target in training sessions.
Data & Statistics
- 2025 season (Giants): 92 catches, 1,014 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns.
- 2022 draft: Selected in the second round; 54 games played through 2025.
- 2026 preseason: Ranked eighth in the league in targets per game last season; listed as the 48th-ranked wide receiver in fantasy PPR rankings by DraftSharks.
Official Statements & Responses
- Titans head coach Robert Saleh described Woods’s hit as “cheap” during the post-practice press conference.
- Xavier Woods is a former Titans safety who was released after the Titans hired Saleh earlier in 2026.
- Cam Ward, Titans quarterback, said after speaking with Robinson that “he’s good” and emphasized the need to protect the receiver from similar hits in the future.
Verbatim Quote
- “I’ve got to put him in a better situation. He’s tough. He’s going to have to take a hit like that this season,” — Cam Ward
What’s Next
The Titans will continue daily monitoring of Robinson’s condition. If medical staff later determine that a concussion was sustained, he would enter the league’s concussion protocol, which could sideline him for several days but still allow clearance before the regular-season opener. The team has not announced whether Robinson will participate in the preseason finale against the Bears.
