Optimism That Brian Robinson Can Return This Year
2 years agoWashington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said that doctors are optimistic about rookie running back Brian Robinson's recovery and his return this season. However, it's a fluid situation after Robinson was shot multiple times during a robbery attempt in D.C. on Sunday night. Team officials will talk to doctors later on Monday to get a further update on Robinson's status. It was terrible timing for the 23-year-old, as he was gaining steam as the team's primary early-down back over Antonio Gibson before Sunday night's incident. Washington could place Robinson on the Non-Football Injury list, which would cause him to miss at least the first four games of the season. He's now one to avoid in shallow fantasy leagues due to his uncertain timetable for a return.
