Packers Rookie CB Cut… Then Dumped by Girlfriend 6 Hours Later — Fans Left Stunned


Posted August 28, 2025

GREEN BAY, Wis. – August 28, 2025

The Green Bay Packers made their final roster cuts on Tuesday, releasing a young defensive back once considered a promising developmental piece. But the heartbreak didn’t stop there — just hours later, his personal life unraveled too.

The decision came as part of the NFL’s 53-man cutdown deadline, a ruthless period when dreams are either realized or crushed. For Green Bay, depth-chart math in the secondary and special teams needs left little room at cornerback. 

That roster casualty was Micah Robinson, a 2025 seventh-round pick from Tulane whose elite speed turned heads throughout camp. Robinson was waived as the corresponding move to the Packers signing veteran linebacker and special-teams ace Nick Niemann.

Then came the second blow. According to sources close to the player, Robinson’s longtime girlfriend ended their relationship just four hours after the waiver call. The timing of the breakup magnified the emotional toll, turning what was already the toughest day of his football career into something far more personal.

In a private message that quickly spread among teammates, Robinson reportedly said: “Six hours after I was cut, the person I thought would always be there walked away too. Losing the Packers was hard, but losing her the same day… that broke me.”

The moment underscored the human side of the NFL’s cold business. Fans often see transactions and roster moves, but behind those headlines are lives upended, relationships strained, and dreams forced to take unexpected detours.

Robinson’s path forward remains uncertain. The Packers would reportedly like to bring him back to the practice squad if he clears waivers — a realistic option given his traits and the team’s interest in continuing his development. 

For now, Micah Robinson’s story is a reminder: in the NFL, heartbreak doesn’t always end with a phone call from the front office. Sometimes, it follows you home.

Eagles Star CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 game , as his cousin Justin Fuller a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville.   Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.”   DeJean —whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dejean that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how he lives and plays today.” In the Eagles’ defensive system, DeJean has steadily earned complete trust thanks to his versatility — working outside at corner, in the slot (nickel), and on coverage units — and standing out for top-end speed, precise tackling angles, and the ability to read quarterbacks. Coaches describe him as “calm, wise beyond his years, and disciplined at the catch point,” consistently maintaining leverage and finishing clean in tight spaces. Through the first five games of 2025, DeJean has played every defensive snap and totaled 36 tackles (26 solo) with five passes defensed, reinforcing his value on the perimeter and inside.  The Philadelphia Eagles have provided time and private support for DeJean and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. An FAA investigation into the accident is underway, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in across social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. DeJean kept his public remarks brief before being embraced by teammates:“He taught me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
