paco Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Commanders rookie Brian Robinson Jr. shot multiple times in attempted robbery, per reports A day after sitting out the Commanders' preseason finale in anticipation of a big role this regular season, rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. was shot multiple times as the victim of an attempted robbery, according to NFL Media and NBC Sports Washington. A third-round draft pick out of Alabama this spring, Robinson is in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries after an apparent carjacking attempt, per ESPN. The 23-year-old Robinson is now hospitalized after at least two bullets struck his lower body during the attempted robbery, according to Tom Pelissero. His immediate on-field future is unclear. Robinson emerged this summer as the apparent front-runner for Washington's top running back job, even with incumbent Antonio Gibson coming off a 1,000-yard season. He totaled 16 touches during the Commanders' first two preseason games, rotating with Gibson as the club's first-team ball-carrier throughout training camp. At the very least, he was expected to open 2022 as a regular complement to Gibson in both the run and pass game. A two-time national champion at Alabama, Robinson spent five seasons with the Crimson Tide before entering the NFL, most notably eclipsing 1,400 rushing yards as a full-time starter in 2021. In Robinson's absence, veteran J.D. McKissic, a pass-catching specialist, is likely to see an uptick in touches alongside Gibson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolg Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Cripes. I remember when Jerome McDougle was shot during a home robbery. He came back but never amounted to much on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is curious they did not place him on the non football injury IR yet. I doubt he's back by week 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess they want to keep their options open. He still has a chance to play before week 4. Depends what the doctors say and his recovery.

dawkins4prez Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 This team is going to be a total dumpster fire this year. Below the Giants. Maybe top 5 pick. It's a 7-10 roster going in the wrong direction which could easily mean 4-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I’ll predict they finish 2nd in the East behind us. Giants are easily the worst team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might take half a season but eventually I think he'll have them playing good ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paco Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Don't care if he plays for the R-words. This is amazing news: Washington Commanders' Brian Robinson has realistic chance for Week 5 return Quote Robinson is on the Non-Football Injury list, which makes him ineligible to play the first four weeks of the season, but his progress already has been tangible. The third-round draft pick is off crutches, and the Commanders plan to have him pick up his conditioning level this week, outside on grass, a first for Robinson since he was shot.

I don't know why the hell I thought the R-words would have a better than average season. Well, I do, but I don't know what I was thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I do, but I don't know what I was thinking Washington was also better than I thought they would be, maybe because Wentz started less than half the season 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
