Recovery time has improved and shortened, there’s a chance he could be ready to go by the end of September next season.
Brutal loss for a guy who was starting find a little groove.
Ready to go is one thing, but ready to make an impact, who knows. You see this all the time with players coming back from ACL surgery. Yes, they're cleared to play but they do not get their explosion fully back until the following year, and for a shorter guy who is absoultely dependent on his quick twitch, I have my doubts on his effectiveness next year even if fully recovered.

#Giants Daboll - robinson ACL ..season is over
Worst part is there is a good chance that means next season is already over based on the timeline. He probably has to wait for surgery. So, it won't even be a full year post surgery until next December.
Wandale is a blow for rebuilding the receiver corp. There's going to be a lot of turnover and he was going to be counted on to help smooth the transition. Sucks this happened later in the year.
Feel terrible for him. Given likely wait to have knee/ligaments stabilize enough for surgery (probably at least 3-4 weeks, and likely 10 month recovery time before being cleared to resume sufficient practice, it's very unlikely we see him until very end of next year).
Schoen has a critical offseason ahead of him and maybe his first real hard test as GM. Daboll's was last year into this year to get initial buy in to his leadership and program.
Will have to get creative with the playmakers on offense given they literally will need at least 3 NFL quality receivers (and I am assuming this is bringing Slayton back too) and probably another RB/TE to help Bellinger and Barkley.

Yup. Anything he can contribute would be later next season at best. See you healthy for 2024 kid.
Some posters mocked me a couple of weeks ago when I posted heights/weights of WDR, KToney, and Tyreek, and posited that players this small, this lacking in muscle and ligament mass and cushion, might be more susceptible to injury. Maybe 'freak' injuries, maybe not, but when ILBs and DEs and even Ss going 210 lbs up to 265 and flying at those spindly legs, bad things can and do happen.
We are going to have to draft 2-3 WRs for next year, completely devoid of players and talent at the position. Terrible news for Robinson, hope he has a speedy recovery and can come back next year stronger.
Of course, 5'8", 185 lbs., leaves just about every game early banged up. The guy doesn't seem built to take the pounding WRs get in the NFL.
It was a non-contact knee injury. That doesn't cherry pick based on size.
Mind boggling all of the “I told you so” takes around here. Wan’Dale literally had 100 yards through 2.5 quarters on Sunday and was best receiver on the field for the Giants. His injury was not because he is too small…it was a non contact knee injury. It happens. It’s bad luck and unfortunate but it should not be an indictment on him as a player or draft pick.
I’m looking forward to having him back next year at some point. He has the makings of an impactful slot receiver for years to come (assuming he makes a full recovery)

Get better, Wan’Dale!
Brutal loss for a guy who was starting find a little groove.
McKeathan.
Beavers.
Davidson.
Shepard.
Robinson.
Have we ever had a year where so many players had ACL injuries?
Eli lost Smith, Nicks, Cruz, OBJ, Boss, Ballard, Wilson.
Jones loses Barkley for 2 seasons, Shep, Robinson, Bellinger
It never ends.
McKeathan.
Beavers.
Davidson.
Shepard.
Robinson.

And MCLs! Lots of knee injuries this year, lots!
McKeathan.
Beavers.
Davidson.
Shepard.
Robinson.

Doesn't feel any different from every other season for over a decade.
Entire roster injured before December is par for the course.

Ronnie Barnes is not an athletic trainer.

Beavers and McKethan as well. Beavers in PS game and McKethan at fan fest event at MetLife.
So 4/5 acl tears were at MetLife. Only one that wasn’t is Davidson.
