2 years agoWashington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson is on the team's initial 53-man roster, and Jonathan Williams was also added as the third running back behind Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic, likely until Robinson is healthy. Robinson's inclusion on the 53-man roster seems like an indication that the team believes he'll be back sooner than the four-game mandate with Injured Reserve. The 23-year-old was released from the hospital on Monday after being shot twice on Sunday in an armed robbery attempt in D.C. He was set to open the season as the primary early down ball-carrier, but that role should now go to Gibson, with McKissic working on passing downs.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
