Texans' Dominique Robinson: Back with Houston on one-year deal
Rotowire
Robinson (calf) signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Robinson was released by the Texans on Sunday, per Wilson, but the 2022 fifth-rounder is back with the team on a one-year deal. Robinson appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Bears in 2025, finishing with 19 tackles (12 solo), including 1.5 sacks. His presence gives the Texans additional depth at defensive end behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

Texans' Dominique Robinson: Injures calf Thursday
Rotowire
Robinson (calf) is considered day-to-day as of Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Robinson injured his calf in Thursday night's preseason game against the Raiders. The depth defensive end will need to recover quickly if he wants to maintain any chance at making the Texans' 53-man roster. With Houston having such a deep defensive line, if Robinson cannot stick to the announced injury timeline, he could find himself out of contention to make the team.

Bears' Dominique Robinson: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Robinson practiced in full all week, suggesting he's cleared concussion protocol in time to play in the Week 14 divisional matchup. The fourth-year pro has appeared in nine games this season, recording 13 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. Now fully healthy, he's expected to play as one of Chicago's top defensive ends Sunday.

Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) was estimated to have logged a full practice at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Robinson missed Chicago's Week 13 win over the Eagles due to a concussion. His return to practice is a good sign, though it's unclear if he has cleared the league's concussion protocol yet -- the final step before he's cleared to return for a Week 14 showdown with the Packers.

Bears' Dominique Robinson: In concussion protocol Tuesday
Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on the Bears' practice estimate Tuesday.
Robinson suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game versus the Steelers, and now he's in danger of missing Friday's contest at Philadelphia. Unless he's able to return to the practice field Wednesday or Thursday, it's unlikely he'll be available in Week 13.

Robinson (ankle) returned to full practice participation Thursday.
Robinson upgraded to full participation Thursday after logging a limited practice due to an ankle injury Wednesday.

Bears' Dominique Robinson: Ruled out for Week 9
Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Robinson's absence comes as no surprise, as the fourth-year pro is working through a high-ankle sprain that he sustained in Week 8 against the Ravens and is a candidate for injured reserve. Daniel Hardy and Austin Booker will serve as the Bears' rotational defensive ends behind Dayo Odeyingbo and Montez Sweat in Robinson's absence.

Bears' Dominique Robinson: Diagnosed with high-ankle sprain
Rotowire
Robinson is expected to be sidelined "for a few weeks" due to a high-ankle sprain that he sustained during the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Robinson sustained the injury during the opening kickoff of Sunday's game and was unable to return. He is a candidate to land on injured reserve given the severity of the injury, which would force him to miss at least the next four games. The fourth-year pro has served on both special teams and on defense as a rotational defensive end, so his absence will mean more defensive snaps for Daniel Hardy and starters Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo.

Rotowire
Robinson (ankle) is doubtful to return to Sunday's preseason contest versus the Bills, Adam Jahns of AllCHGO.com reports.

Bears' Dominique Robinson: Big performance in NFL debut
Rotowire
Robinson notched 1.5 sacks and seven tackles in the Bears' 19-10 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
With the 49ers running the ball 37 times along with the game being played in a heavy rainstorm, Robinson took advantage of the opportunity by being a part of both Chicago sacks.
