BREAKING: Amik Robertson’s Four-Word Declaration Before Surgery Stuns Fans
Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson delivered a powerful four-word message just hours before undergoing surgery for a broken arm sustained in the Lions’ divisional-round playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. The simple yet impactful statement, “Ready to get back,” has resonated with fans and teammates alike, showcasing Robertson’s resilience and determination.
The injury occurred early in the game while Robertson was tackling Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin. He collided with linebacker Jack Campbell during the play and was quickly ruled out with an elbow injury. Subsequent evaluation revealed a broken arm, specifically a broken humerus. Head coach Dan Campbell confirmed the injury post-game, announcing Robertson would undergo surgery on Sunday.
Robertson’s injury is a blow to the Lions’ defense, as he had become an important part of the secondary, especially after other injuries forced him to move to the outside. During the regular season, Robertson recorded 50 tackles, eight passes defended, and a career-high three forced fumbles.
Robertson signed a two-year deal with the Lions in free agency and is due a $4.2 million base salary for 2025. While his recovery is expected to take six to eight weeks, Robertson’s “Ready to get back” declaration signals his intent to return to the field as soon as possible. In the meantime, Kindle Vildor is expected to fill his position.
