Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris gave an injury update Tuesday on running back Bijan Robinson.
Yet Robinson, who hasn't participated in OTAs and isn't expected to partake over the next two weeks, has made good strides, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Tuesday.
"Really positive about it," Morris said. "He's progressing well. He's been out there, he's in great spirits. I have a lot of confidence he'll be ready to go for our veteran minicamp. That will get him a nice break in between there.Veteran minicamp is scheduled for June 10-12, the Falcons' final round of practices before returning to Flowery Branch for training camp in late July.
But while they're on the IBM Performance Field running through drills and competitive periods, Robinson has been inside the team's facilities. He's not, however, wasting the opportunity to sit back and absorb the information in front of him. "He's definitely learning the game above the neck," Morris said. "He's the first person who wants to talk about . You can't help but smile when you see Bijan - that's just who he is, what he is."
The Falcons haven't yet seen Robinson on the field this summer, but if his track record is any indication, they'll keep that smile when he makes his return - which appears to be coming in less than a month.Daniel Flick is an accredited NFL writer for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
