Virginia Linebacker Kam Robinson Out for Maryland Game

Latest News on Robinson's Injury

Virginia Cavaliers linebacker Kam Robinson will miss the team's upcoming game against the Maryland Terrapins due to an injury, head coach Tony Elliott announced Monday.

Robinson, a redshirt senior, is one of Virginia's leading tacklers this season with 35 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. He also has one interception and one forced fumble.

Impact on Virginia's Defense

Robinson's absence will be a significant blow to Virginia's defense. He is a key member of the Cavaliers' front seven and his experience and leadership will be missed.

In Robinson's absence, Virginia is expected to start senior Nick Jackson at middle linebacker. Jackson has played in all six games this season and has 18 tackles.

Outlook for Robinson's Return

Elliott did not provide a timetable for Robinson's return, but he said that the linebacker is expected to miss multiple games.

Robinson's injury is a tough blow for Virginia, but the Cavaliers will need to find a way to replace his production on the field.
