What’s going on with the Atlanta Falcons‘ Bijan Robinson? Everyone is wondering if he is okay because he was only seen playing one play in the first quarter of the match against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Not to mention, he did not record any touchdowns.
Even after the Falcons recorded a touchdown on an 8-play opening possession, Robinson was surprisingly not only on the field for any of those plays. Instead, he stood on the sideline with his helmet on. Now, that came out as an extremely concerning situation for everyone.

Bijan Robinson was not back on the field after the 2:18 mark, and the situation frustrated the fans a lot. Not to mention, in a fit of rage, they commented something unexpected. “
If Bijan Robinson doesn’t play in the 2nd qtr, Arthur Smith needs to go to prison. #justiceforbijan.” Robinson is a great player, but his not being able to play seems like an injustice.
A fan commented, “
Every fantasy owner and gambler should file a class action lawsuit. If they knew this, they should have announced before the game.” “Shouldn’t they have to put this out before the game?” commented another fan. Some believe that the company intentionally planned this for money. They stated, “Because then Underdog Fantasy wouldn’t make a ton of money.”“
Falcons will get a well-deserved fine from the league for misrepresenting a player’s health status,” expressed a fan. What do you think about the situation?ADVERTISEMENT
