Everyone was wondering where the first round pick was.Atlanta Falcons fans, NFL fans and NFL fantasy managers alike spent a lot of Sunday's late win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wondering where Bijan Robinson was.
The eighth overall pick in this year's draft has impressed so far in 2023, showing elite speed, agility and pass catching ability as a running back.
Robinson had played over 60% of snaps in every game before Week 7, but things could not have been more different in Tampa.
The running back's only touch of the game came in the final minute of the game - carrying for a three yard gain.
Speaking to the media after the game, Robinson said he had been dealing with a headache and head coach Arthur Smith did not want to risk the running back having a heavy workload.
Robinson told the media: "My head was hurting, I talked to coach Smith and he said he didn't want to risk anything.
"We had Tyler [Allgeier] and CP [Cordarrelle Patterson] and they did really well today, they are my brothers.
"It was feeling weird last night, and I woke up completely out of it so I took some medicine to be good for the game, but it was hurting bad.
"I tried to go pregame but coach Smith just said to get right for next week."
