Robinson, the former Penn State quarterback who has played sparingly in two NFL seasons, was injured when he ran into rookie guard Chilo Rachal during the 49ers' first full-contact practice Monday morning.

Robinson had 25 yards on six rushes with a long of 10, while Hicks added 30 yards on three carries with a long run of 20.
