Laurent Robinson Injury Update (1 Viewer)

If any of you have updates on Laurent Robinson's ankle injury, it would be great if you could post it here. I wasn't able to watch the game, but based on some of the current information available, he got his ankle 'smashed' by a defender, and had to be carted to the locker room. If any of you who watched the game can chime in as well, it would be much appreciated.Latest from CBS:

Rams WR Laurent Robinson caught two passes for 26 yards in Week 3's game against the Packers before he got injured. Robinson had to helped off the field after getting his ankle smashed by a Packers defender and has what the Rams are calling a right ankle sprain. Robinson could not walk to the locker room and was taken in on a cart. He could not return. (Updated 09/27/2009). Fantasy Analysis Robinson has 13 catches for 167 yards and a touchdown thus far this season and has been St. Louis' best overall receiver in the early going. Hopefully he'll be able to return Week 4 at San Francisco. The 49ers have a solid pass defense and a healthy Robinson would likely be just a No. 3 or 4 WR.

The cart scares me especially with how the injury occured. I'm sure he'll be out for a while.

Robinson Done for the Season:

From Rotoworld:Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Laurent Robinson is done for the season with a broken leg.Miklasz says it's either a fractured tibia or fibula -- he isn't sure. Robinson was easily the Rams' best pass catcher in their first three games, but he has been injury prone throughout his three-year pro career. Keenan Burton, who is purely a possession receiver, will move into the starting lineup. It's a major downgrade, and will make St. Louis' offense easier to defend. Sep. 28 - 3:45 pm et
