Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather and wide receiver Aldrick Robinson are both inactive for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after suffering injuries in a pregame collision.

The Washington Post reported Robinson bent over in the end zone during pregame warmups to pick up a football and as he was standing up, Meriweather's left knee struck him in the head.

Both players immediately went to the ground and Meriweather, who has not played this season with a knee injury, was able to walk off the field under his own power, while Robinson had to be helped off the field after getting looked at by trainers.

Robinson has seven receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown through three games this season.
