What happened to Amik Robertson? Raiders CB takes brutal hit by Breece Hall on SNF
Amik Robertson was left flattened by Breece Hall on Sunday Night Football as the Raiders player was flattened by the Jets running back. It was a scary moment as Robertson suffered a concussion and was seen in what was thought of as a fencing response.
Breece Hall came from the backfield to try to get a first down. As he did so, Amik Robertson converged on him. In trying to move the chains, the running back jumped over his opponent and his knee collided with the head. And once that happened, the Raiders player fell down flat on his back and did not move for a while.
Thankfully, he did make it back onto his feet. However, he could not walk on his own and needed help from the staff to get off the field. He will likely be on concussion protocol in the coming days.
Amik Robertson was coming into his own over the last few games for the Raiders
The injury to Amik Robertson is a big letdown for the player. He was coming into his own as the season progressed. He began this season, not featuring much in terms of getting tackles and interceptions as a cornerback. He did not record anything for the first three games of the season.
But since then, he has improved gradually. He started with two tackles in one game against the Los Angeles Chargers before recording one against the Green Bay Packers. But he also had an interception in the latter game. Since then, he has had multiple solo tackles in every game and recorded another interception last week against the New York Giants.
This sudden concussion, though, will put a pause on his growth. The hope, however, is that when he comes back he will pick up where he left off.
Breece Hall having an uneven season with the Jets
Breece Hall has been one of the bright lights for the Jets this season, especially on offense. But he has been uneven, recording a couple of games over 100 yards and struggling in others. An example was today when he had 29 yards in 12 carries. Dalvin Cook, on the other hand, 26 yards in four attempts in the first half.
That has been the story of the entire Jets offense overall in 2023 as well. That is why they got Aaron Rodgers to correct this issue, but such is their luck that he went down injured in the first game. They will have to wait some more time for that.
