Robbins was waived by the Bengals on Tuesday.
Robbins suffered an upper leg injury during training camp, but he was designated to return from IR on Monday. In his absence, Cincinnati turned to Ryan Rehkow to take over punting duties, who has made the most of the opportunity and is leading the NFL in yards per punt. Unfortunately for Robbins, this has led the team to stick with Rehkow, leaving the Michigan product on the waiver wire.

Bengals' Brad Robbins: Nearing return
Rotowire
Robbins (upper leg) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday.
Robbins has missed the mandatory four games since being placed on IR before the start of the season. The second-year pro suffered the injury during practice back on Aug. 13, and his designation to return will allow him to practice with the team again.
