BRIAN ROBINSON JR. NEWS

Splits first-team snaps with Ekeler Robinson rushed five times for 20 yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 20-17 preseason loss to the Jets.

Impact Robinson and Austin Ekeler (two carries for seven yards) both mixed in on the opening drive, which was the only drive that rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels played. Daniels capped that possession with a three-yard touchdown run. Robinson faces increased competition for touches from Ekeler, and Daniels is also a threat to vulture goal-line rushing looks after scoring 21 rushing TDs in his last two years at LSU, but the ceiling for Washington's entire offense is far higher with Daniels at the helm than it was with Sam Howell under center last season. Washington's first-team offense could see more playing time in next Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins.

Listed as co-starter with Ekeler Robinson and Ekeler both are listed as starters on Washington's initial preseason depth chart.

Impact The two are expected to form a timeshare, with Robinson likely getting more carries and Ekeler more targets, though offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday that Robinson is "a power back who has great hands." Kingsbury also said that he doesn't think Ekeler's 2023 struggles with the Chargers were due to physical decline, noting that the 29-year-old "hasn't lost a step" and is "as fast and as strong as I've seen him." Additional hints about the workload split between the two RBs figure to be in short supply until Week 1, at which point fantasy managers will want to pay close attention to the division of snaps, carries, targets and routes.

Returns as limited participant Robinson (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Impact This marks Robinson's first official on-field work since injuring his hamstring back in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which kept him sidelined for the second half of that contest and also the Commanders' next two games following a Week 14 bye. Reserve running back Chris Rodriguez didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle issue, so Antonio Gibson and Derrick Gore are the team's current healthy options at the position. Robinson will have two more opportunities this week to increase his activity level and potentially put himself in a position to return to action Sunday versus the 49ers.

Ruled out for Jets matchup Robinson (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact As expected after a second straight week of missed practice, though Robinson did at least manage some side work with the training staff. His next chance to play will be Dec. 31 against the 49ers. In the meantime, Chris Rodriguez and Antonio Gibson figure to get most of the backfield snaps/touches, with Jonathan Williams (concussion) or Derrick Gore potentially being elevated from the practice squad for depth.

Missing practice again Robinson (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact He thus appears likely to miss a second straight game when the Commanders face the Jets on Sunday. With Robinson out last week, the Commanders used Chris Rodriguez as their lead runner and gave Jonathan Williams (concussion) 13 snaps, while veteran Antonio Gibson remained in his usual role and took 45 percent of the snaps on offense.

Not looking good for Sunday Robinson (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Robinson's complete lack of practice participation after a Week 14 bye makes him unlikely to play this Sunday at the Rams. If he ends up inactive, Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez should take on large-than-usual roles in the Washington offense.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined at practice Robinson (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact For a second day in a row, Robinson was held out of drills due to a hamstring issue, but he was spotted working with team trainers on the side during Thursday's session, per John Keim of ESPN.com. The development may indicate that Robinson has a chance to practice Friday, but if he doesn't, there's also the possibility that the Commanders rule him out upon posting their final Week 15 injury report. If Robinson is limited or sidelined Sunday at the Rams, Antonio Gibson would be in line for a bigger role, with Chris Rodriguez on hand for complementary reps.

Brian Robinson, Antonio Gibson bringing new dimension to Commanders offense Robinson is coming off a career-best performance as a receiver in Seattle, while Gibson has come on strong in recent weeks.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Career day as receiver Robinson took eight carries for 38 yards while catching all six of his targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-26 loss to Seattle.

Impact Robinson's big day as a pass catcher resulted in a new single-game high in receiving yards while nearly doubling the combined air production from his previous nine contests in one fell swoop. The second-year back did finish with single-digit carries for the third time this season, but he offset the low usage as a rusher by providing a fantasy line most managers would be content with from their top wide receiver. The Alabama product has been a strong contributor through 10 games this season, combining for 741 all-purpose yards and eight touchdowns over that span. Robinson could stay hot in Week 11 with a favorable matchup against a banged-up Giants squad next Sunday.

Scores seventh scrimmage TD of 2023 Robinson rushed 18 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over New England. He added one catch for four yards on two targets and lost a fumble.

Impact Robinson sauntered into the end zone untouched from nine yards out to put Washington up 10-0 in the second quarter, but he fumbled on the Commanders' next drive. After scoring only three scrimmage touchdowns in 12 games as a rookie last season, Robinson has seven touchdowns through nine games in his second NFL campaign. Antonio Gibson tied his season high with six rushing attempts in this game, but Robinson remains Washington's top option on the ground heading into a Week 10 trip to Seattle.
