Rams’ Greg Robinson a Shocking Inactive for Week 12

Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Greg Robinson was declared inactive for Sunday’s Week 12 showdown with the New Orleans Saints.

It appears Greg Robinson is in a really bad way in his third season in the NFL, as he was shockingly listed as inactive and a healthy scratch for the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. That’s right, he’s been benched.

During the week, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher talked about potentially making changes to the offensive line because of poor play. While we possibly expected Robinson to have his playing time cut, we didn’t expect it to get cut altogether.

Granted, Robinson’s demise is no secret. He’s been one of the worst left tackles in the game this season and has been penalized more than any other player in the NFL over the past two seasons.

But this is a pretty drastic move to send a message by Fisher. Now it looks like things are coming to a head for the former No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

In the past week he avoided the media altogether on Wednesday and said almost nothing to them on Friday. Now we can start to understand why he acted the way he did, as it would appear he knew his benching was imminent.

Still, being benched is no excuse for acting like a baby and it only makes things worse. Robinson has a long way to go in the maturity department and it may be one of many things that stops him from being successful in the NFL.

Here is the full list of inactives for Los Angeles:
