Philadelphia Eagles acquire DL A’Shawn Robinson from the Detroit Lions for a fourth-round pick
The Eagles’ defensive line rotation took a big hit when Derek Barnett suffered a season-ending injury. Robinson, a second-round pick in 2016, could help fill some of the void even though he’s a defensive tackle, not an end.
”Robinson could be a great fit in a Timmy Jernigan-type move for Philly,” an evaluator said. “Detroit just gave up a fifth for [Damon] ‘Snacks’ Harrison. If you’re Philly, tell the Lions they can get a better pick back, and see if [GM Bob] Quinn takes it.”
Robinson played a season-high 42 snaps against Seattle on Sunday, but before that, he was averaging 24 snaps per game. That was down from 44 last season, when the Lions had a different coaching staff.
