Dillingham confirmed postgame the injury was to Robinson’s shoulder but said he’ll wait for more testing before commenting further.

Robinson, the Sun Devils’ top outside cornerback, was replaced by experienced backup Laterrance Welch. Cincinnati attacked the matchup with wide receiver Xzavier Henderson going for 67 yards on eight catches.

Robinson was ASU’s highest-graded outside corner through six games, according to PFF. He had allowed 11 catches across 221 pass-coverage snaps entering the game.

Opposite starter Keith Abney II got an interception earlier in the game, his second straight week with a pick. Depth behind the starters and Welch includes true freshman Rodney Bimage Jr. and redshirt freshman Keontez Bradley.
