The Chargers have signed Robinson to a one-year deal, ESPN.com reports.

Robinson, who recorded 39 tackles and two picks with the Saints last season, adds depth to the Chargers' secondary (along with fellow newcomer Jimmy Wilson) following the free agent departures of Shareece Wright and Marcus Gilchrist.

Robinson made two tackles (both solo) in Sunday's win against the Vikings, but he played only one defensive snap, according to theNew Orleans Times-Picayune, as he contributed primarily on defense following his demotion form the starting lineup.

With Corey White taking over the starting cornerback spot opposite Keenan Lewis, Robinson was relegated to special teams' duties, with the Saints preferring to deploy three safeties in their nickel packages rather than letting Robinson take the field in coverage. With the team's defensive success - though taken with a grain of salt against a Vikings' attack led mainly by rookie Teddy Bridgewater in his first career action - Robinson's days as a starting cornerback an IDP-relevant player are likely over in New Orleans, absent injury.

Despite recording six tackles (five solo) and a pass defended, Robinson was mercifully benched in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

Robinson's struggles in coverage have been well documented, and the Browns threw at him early and often in Sunday's contest, resulting in the healthy IDP statistics despite the benching. Robinson's IDP value is directly tied to his starting spot, and while the Saints are extremely thin at cornerback, Corey White was given the first crack at filling Robinson's shoes. So long as White remains the starter, Robinson's fantasy value takes a huge hit, but if he is able to reclaim the starting gig, Robinson should continue to be an IDP option due to the high volume of passes thrown his way.

Robinson struggled in coverage in Thursday's preseason finale against the Ravens, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune, which could put his assumed starting spot in jeopardy. Robinson finished the game with four tackles (three solo).

Robinson was repeatedly picked on by Ravens' backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, despite Robinson being matched up against Baltimore's reserve wide receivers much of the night. If Robinson does lose his grip on the starting spot, he likely disappears from the IDP radar. If, however, Robinson maintains his starting gig, his struggles are likely a blessing in disguise for fantasy owners, as teams will likely continue to throw Robinson's way, giving him a chance to rack of IDP-relevant stats.

According to Larry Holder of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Robinson (leg) is the leader for the Saints' starting cornerback position opposite Keenan Lewis.

With Champ Bailey sitting out the Saints preseason opener, said Holder about the starting spot, "[t]here's no question at this point that it's Patrick Robinson's job to lose." Though Robinson missed all of 2013 with a knee injury, he had a breakout fantasy year in 2012, compiling 63 tackles, 18 pass defenses and three interceptions for the Saints as a starter. Robinson's pre-injury production, however, was likely the result of opposing quarterbacks continuously targeted him in coverage, providing him ample opportunity to post career-highs in both tackles and passes defended. If Robinson does indeed win the starting job this year, it's not unreasonable to expect big numbers again, as teams will most likely target the shaky corner rather than attack the well-regarded Lewis.

Saints CB Patrick Robinson (knee) has been a full participant in OTAs.

Robinson tore his patellar tendon last Week 2, but is ready to roll for 2014. Robinson has been taking first-team reps ahead of Corey White, Champ Bailey and Stanley Jean-Baptiste in OTAs, but there's still no guarantee he'll even remain on the roster come Week 1.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune believes Saints CB Patrick Robinson's roster spot could be in jeopardy.

Robinson, the No. 32 overall pick in the 2010 draft, counts $2.8 million against the cap at the moment and is trying to come back from a torn patellar tendon. Team that with poor play and the Saints' signing of Champ Bailey and drafting of Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Robinson may not be long for New Orleans.

Patrick Robinson will have his 2014 base salary bumped from $872,500 to $1.2825 million after activating playing-time triggers in his rookie contract.

Robinson is also due a $75,000 workout bonus. Robinson began 2013 as a backup before tearing his patellar tendon in Week 2. The pay raise puts Robinson's already tenuous roster position with the cap-strapped Saints in further doubt. The former first-round pick is looking more and more like a bust.

Saints placed CB Patrick Robinson on injured reserve with a torn patellar tendon, ending his season.

Robinson suffered the non-contact injury in Sunday's win over the Bucs and had to be carted off the field. The former first-round pick was the Saints' No. 3 corner behind starters Keenan Lewis and Jabari Greer. He'll be entering the final year of his contract next season. Corey White and Chris Carr round out the depth chart. The Saints have lost four key defenders for the season.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Saints CB Patrick Robinson's foot injury isn't believed to be serious.

Robinson was forced from Sunday's win in the second half, but it sounds like his X-rays/MRI didn't turn up anything major. Filling in for a banged up Keenan Lewis (leg), Robinson played 18 shaky snaps against the Falcons. Thankfully for the Saints, Lewis turned out to be fine.

Saints CB Patrick Robinson (foot) was spotted in a walking boot after Sunday's win.

Robinson departed early in the second half, and did not return. He had been filling in for Keenan Lewis (leg), but Lewis eventually returned. A consistently inconsistent player, Robinson was having an up-and-down game before departing.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune suggests Saints RCB Patrick Robinson has the "potential to be a standout" entering his second year as a starter.

Robinson got picked on early last season, but by the end of the year was arguably outplaying LCB Jabari Greer. Robinson also made Tracy Porter expendable after leading the Saints with four interceptions and finishing second to Greer with 15 pass breakups. Robinson will continue to start at right corner in 2012.

The Saints are reportedly ''very comfortable'' with CB Patrick Robinson becoming a full-time starter next season.

A first-round pick in 2010, Robinson appeared in 15 games, recording 47 tackles and four interceptions. Considered the in-house favorite to replace free agent Tracy Porter, Robinson's production surpassed Porter's in nearly every defensive category last season.

Saints nickel back Patrick Robinson is expected to take on an increased role this season.

The Saints' secondary is coming back mostly intact and strong. With Jabari Greer, Tracy Porter and Robinson at the corner position, this figures to be a difficult defense to throw on again. They were the No. 4 pass defense in the NFL last year in terms of yards allowed per game.

Saints CB Patrick Robinson (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision Sunday in Week 11.

Beat writer Jeff Duncan says his gut feeling is Robinson won't play. The rookie would be replaced by Leigh Torrance.

Although CB Patrick Robinson deemed his ankle injury minor in nature, the New Orleans Times-Picayune calls it a "high ankle sprain."

The rookie won't play this week at Carolina, but the Saints expect to have starters Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter back in action. The team has newfound depth with Leigh Torrance and Malcolm Jenkins playing well at corner.

Saints CB Patrick Robinson said the ankle injury he suffered in Week 8 is minor.

It can't be that minor, as Robinson was injured early in the game and didn't return. Nevertheless, it sounds like he'll be ready to suit up for Week 9.
