Brian Robiskie to Return to Cleveland on November 20

by Chris Pokorny on Nov 2, 2011 5:45 PM EDT

Brian Robiskie will likely make his return to Cleveland Browns Stadium on November 20 after being released by the team yesterday, but he'll be doing so on the opposite sideline. The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed Robiskie off waivers on Wednesday, placing Mike Sims-Walker on the injured reserve to clear a roster spot for him.

The Jaguars are on a bye this week, so they could have extra time to get Robiskie familiar with their offense. After their bye, the Jaguars play the Colts and then the Browns. There's a good chance that Robiskie will be active on gameday when he comes to Cleveland. Mike Thomas and Jason Hill are locked in as starting receivers for the Jaguars, but with Sims-Walker now done for the year, the other three receivers on the roster have combined for nine catches this season. I know Robiskie has fewer than that, but the scenario seems like it is built for him to play in the slot and perhaps help block on some plays for Maurice Jones-Drew. Whether he plays against the Colts next week should be a good indicator as to whether or not he'll be active against Cleveland.

Shouldn’t matter. Robiskie wouldn’t know a football if it smacked him in the face.

Hmmm… Basically. I mean Braylon was on the field during an actual play at that point, so that’s where the comparison breaks down. But you have the jist of it :)

I wish him all the success in the world, except against the Browns.

Exactly. I want no Robo sightings on that day.

I was upset at first because I thought he was actually being resigned.

Put Patterson or Sheldon Brown on him, Joe Haden would be overkill. Somehow, I don’t think we have to worry about Robiskie hurting us. Honestly, if he goes on to an above average NFL career, then good for him. Lets just hope Jacksonville cuts him and he catches on in the NFC somewhere, that way we only have to play him once every four years.
