Bengals rookie Landon Robinson wears full Navy service uniform ahead of first NFL game

Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive tackle Landon Robinson made a notable entrance ahead of his first career NFL contest, arriving for the regular season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wearing a formal military service uniform. Robinson, an alumnus of Copley High School, previously appeared on the field for Cincinnati during an August 22, 2026 preseason clash opposite the Chicago Bears at Paycor Stadium, where he wore jersey number 96.

The Week 1 matchup between Cincinnati and Tampa Bay at Paycor Stadium also prompted a series of roster transactions and inactive announcements for both sides. The visiting Buccaneers sidelined seven individuals for Sunday's contest, including injured doubtfuls Justin Skule, Sean Tucker, and Jalen McMillan, alongside DeMonte Capehart, Ayden, and Elijah Simmons, while the Bengals designated seven of their own players inactive.
