'I haven't given one second of thought,' Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith said about the NFL's questioning of running back Bijan Robinson's lack of injury report designation last week.
Robinson, the No. 8 overall pick in April's draft, is Atlanta's leading rusher with 404 yards on the ground and entered last week's game tied for the team lead in receptions, serving as the dynamic two-way threat many anticipated he'd be.
Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith and running back Bijan Robinson came under fire for the latter's lack of play time against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.ClutchpointsThis prompted the NFL to ask injury report compliance questions to the Falcons earlier this week, per, including when the team knew Robinson wasn't healthy and why it wasn't reported as league policy requires.
"I understand outrage and drama sells," Smith said."But guys, if you really understand how things really operate, there's nothing there. I haven't given one second of thought." Robinson mentioned after Sunday's win that he and Smith spoke pre-game about getting ready for this week's game against the Tennessee Titans, and the former University of Texas star planned on being good to go.
