Ravens Lose Sack Leader Tavius Robinson for the Season Two Days Before Bengals Clash

The Baltimore Ravens will play the rest of the 2026 season without their most productive pass rusher.

Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed Friday that outside linebacker Tavius Robinson is out for the year after suffering a pectoral injury. Robinson appeared on Wednesday's injury report and did not practice all week; Minter declined to offer further details.

The timing could not be worse. Robinson, 27, leads Baltimore with 3.5 sacks through six games, adding 18 tackles and a forced fumble as a key piece of the Ravens' defensive front. He now heads to the shelf just two days before the 4-2 Ravens host the 3-2 Bengals in a Sunday matchup with real weight in the early AFC North standings.

Cincinnati, led by Joe Burrow, gets an immediate reprieve against a Ravens pass rush that also sees Trey Hendrickson facing his former team for the first time. Baltimore will lean on Mike Green, rookie Zion Young and Ethan Burke to fill Robinson's snaps — a tall order for a defense that leaned heavily on its sack leader through the first third of the season.
