Seattle Seahawks linebacker Alton Robinson (knee), who was placed on Injured Reserve before the start of the 2022 season due to a knee injury suffered in the preseason, still isn't running at full speed, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Robinson remained on Injured Reserve all year, but the expectation was that he'd be ready for the start of 2023 this fall. The 24-year-old could need surgery to address the injury if it doesn't improve soon, and that would likely knock him out for the start of the season. The former fifth-round pick in 2020 played in 30 games (three starts) in his first two seasons with Seattle and racked up 44 tackles (26 solo), five sacks, 10 tackles for loss, seven QB hits and two forced fumbles.
With the 148th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected Syracuse defensive end Alton Robinson. One of the fastest defensive linemen in this years draft class, Robinson has the potential to develop into a good pass rusher at the NFL level, though hes certainly more of an athletic project right now. This is a pick for the future for the Seahawks, not someone who is expected to contribute right away.
