The former ESPN sportscaster captioned the post: “Good morning! Playing a little sore this morning, but Glam Fam and I would still like to share with you our #tuesdaythoughts.”
On Tuesday’s episode, GMA co-host George Stephanopoulos asked Robin, “How are you feeling?”
“I’m feeling much better,” Robin replied.
She then joked, “I can neither confirm nor deny whether I’m taking painkillers,” while pretending to be lost looking around the studio.
After the joke, Robin reaffirmed, “I’m much better,” after which host Gio Benitez added, “I know it’s been really painful… but no one makes a cast look cuter.”
FEELING ADVENTURED
Last month, Robin was absent for an extended period from Good Morning America, but continued to share her adventures on social media as the morning show revealed her replacement.
Robin was anchoring GMA alongside George and Michael Strahan, but announced that Tuesday, March 5, would be her last day as she traveled across America for different projects.
She began her video: “Good morning. We’re ready to hit the road again.
“I’m going to leave a little early so we can go to Iowa and talk to Caitlin Clark.”
Caitlin, who was recently selected in the WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever, was a college basketball player for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

“I put on my Iowa colors and even got my sneakers ready,” Robin continued.
She then told her followers that she was heading to Los Angeles for an “exclusive interview.”
“So we’re going to Nashville to see Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood,” the GMA host said.
Robin then finished the video with the morning message and prayer.
ROBIN REPLACEMENT
GMA chose Rebecca Jarvis to sit next to Michael and George while Robin was away.
Rebecca, 42, recently took an extended leave of absence from GMA as she was on maternity leave to have her second child.
