Per Jacquie Franciulli of 247 Sports, junior linebacker Kam Robinson will be out for the rest of the season. During his latest matchup against Duke, he suffered a brutal injury, tearing his ACL. As a result, Robinson is now sidelined.

UVA LB Kam Robinson is out for the rest of the season.

After the game, head coach Tony Elliott discussed Robinson's injury, which was initially thought to be clean. As he explained during his postgame media appearance:

"Yeah, I mean, one, his status-wise, he came back in for one play. The initial thought was that after they went and did a scan, they went and got an X-ray, and everything was clean. Thought it was maybe a bruise to the nerve, and then he tried to go back in and wasn't able to play full speed. So, shut him down. Then Landon, I think, went out and led us in tackles, filling in for him, and, you know, Landon played what started three games for us, right? So depth-wise, it just goes to show, and then the belief that the next man just has to be ready. And I think it's also a credit to the rotation we've been able to establish throughout the course of these last several weeks of being able to play both Landon and Marcellus and bring James and Kam off the field to catch their breath and not miss a beat."

Losing Robinson is far from ideal with one of the Cavaliers' most important matchups right around the corner. UVA will need to step up and fill in the gaps if it wants to stay in the ACC race.
