Robinson was one of six players limited, including defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard (toe), edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel (thigh), linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill (shoulder), edge rusher Pat Jones II (knee), and receiver Brandon Powell (ankle).
The Vikings promoted long snapper Jake McQuaide to the active roster and waived outside linebacker Gabe Murphy, an undrafted rookie who was activated from injured reserve last week. Murphy is likely following the path of tight end Nick Muse, who also was activated from injured reserve, waived and re-signed to the practice squad Wednesday.
McQuaide will replace long snapper Andrew DePaola for a fourth week Sunday, and he needed to be promoted to play again after the Vikings used all three practice squad elevations allotted. DePaola (hand) is eligible to return Dec. 8 against the Falcons.
Offensive coordinator Wes Phillips opened his weekly news conference with a “Happy Thanksgiving” to reporters, sharing that he’ll have family in town, including his father, Wade Phillips, 77-year-old defensive guru and former head coach of the Broncos, Bills and Cowboys.
How much does Wade involve himself in Wes’ Vikings?
