  • Pair of rush TDs in upset

    Robinson rushed 15 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns and wasn't targeted in the Commanders' 45-31 divisional-round win over the Lions on Saturday night.

    Analysis: The Lions had maintained one of the league's best run defenses all season despite enduring a multitude of injuries, but Robinson and backfield mate Austin Ekeler both were able to make significant inroads on the ground Saturday. Robinson operated in his usual No. 1 back role and recorded two- and one-yard rushing touchdowns in the second and fourth quarter, respectively. The talented third-year back served as a key component of the Commanders' offensive success and helped keep the Lions'…read more

  • Struggles in tough matchup

    Robinson was held to 16 yards on 10 carries while catching four of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Robinson failed to generate any running lanes against Pro Bowl DT Vita Vea and the interior of Tampa Bay's defense. Quarterback Jayden Daniels wound up leading the Commanders in carries (13) as the rushing offense was forced to operate outside of the numbers in the second half. Robinson also had to deal with the presence of veteran backup Austin Ekeler, who was activated from IR in Week 18 and poached 11 touches for a combined 53 yards in Sunday's narrow victory. With a shared backfield and a…read more

  • Modest workload in Week 18

    Robinson rushed five times for 10 yards and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Robinson didn't get many touches in the regular-season finale as the Commanders chose not to overwork their running backs ahead of the postseason. Washington's lead back finishes the regular season with 187 carries for 799 yards and eight touchdowns, as well as 20 catches for 159 yards on 25 targets. Austin Ekeler (concussion) returned from injured reserve Sunday, but Robinson's likely to get the majority of touches over Ekeler in the wild-card round against either the Rams or Buccaneers.

  • Handles 15 touches Sunday

    Robinson took 13 carries for 60 yards while catching both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Robinson turned in a middling performance as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels carried the team to victory Sunday. The 25-year-old Robinson did set a new career high in rushing yards (849) with Sunday's modest showing. Robinson may see less opportunities in next Sunday's season finale against the Cowboys if the Commanders, who have clinched a playoff spot but can rise no higher than the No. 6 seed in the NFC, elect to rest or reduce the workload of their starters.

  • Can't hold onto ball in Week 16

    Robinson carried the ball 10 times for 24 yards and caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 36-33 win over the Eagles. He also lost two fumbles.

    Analysis: The third-year running back wasn't much involved in the game plan once the Commanders fell behind early, in part because he coughed up the ball on two of the team's first five possessions, and Jayden Daniels wound up leading the team in rushing yards while also throwing five TDs in the comeback victory. Robinson still crept closer to 1,000 scrimmage yards for the season, and he sits 127 yards away heading into a Week 17 clash with the Falcons that could allow him to have more of a featured role…read more

  • Gains 87 total yards Sunday

    Robinson had 21 carries for 65 yards while corralling all three of his targets for 22 receiving yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over New Orleans.

    Analysis: Robinson struggled as a runner Sunday, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry despite tying his season high in carries (21). The 25-year-old helped offset his inefficient rushing day with the second-highest yardage total as a receiver through 11 active games this year. Robinson will continue to lead Washington's backfield as the team prepares to host Philadelphia next Sunday.

  • Rumbles for 40-yard TD in win

    Robinson rushed 16 times for 103 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for six yards in Sunday's 42-19 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Robinson quickly showed that he's over the ankle injury he sustained in the Week 12 loss to Dallas, opening the scoring with a 40-yard touchdown run on the game's first possession. That hot start helped Robinson post his third 100-yard rushing performance of the season and first since Week 4. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) on IR, Robinson should continue to handle heavy workloads as the clear lead back after Washington's Week 14 bye.

    Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Robinson (ankle) will be a "wait-and-see scenario" ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Robinson initially injured his ankle early in this past Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He was cleared to return by the medical staff, but Robinson aggravated the ankle in the second half and wasn't able to get back in the game. Robinson ended up playing just 12 offensive snaps all day. He's battled a multitude of injuries since the calendar flipped to October. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) also banged up, the Commanders again may have to turn to Jeremy McNichols in Week 13.

    Robinson exited Sunday's game against the Cowboys a second time due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Robinson went to the locker room after his first carry of the game due to an ankle issue but was able to get back on the field. Shortly after halftime, though, the Commanders again deemed him questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, Robinson will finish Week 12 with five carries for 13 yards and one catch (on two targets) for 11 yards. Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols will man Washington's backfield for as long as Robinson is sidelined.

    Robinson rushed 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for nine yards in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Robinson opened the scoring on a one-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter, his seventh rushing TD of the season. Six of those trips to the end zone have come in the last six contests, and Robinson has managed at least Thursday's rushing yardage total in four of the last five games.

    Robinson (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Philadelphia, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: After missing the last two games due to a lingering hamstring injury, Robinson will be back in action Week 11. His full participation in practice Wednesday indicates that he has a decent chance to retain his position as Washington's primary runner, but Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez all will be on hand for reps, too. In seven contests this season, Robinson is averaging 15.7 touches for 77.1 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring six times on the ground.

Austin Ekeler filled in as the starting RB in a 27-22 win over the Giants on Sunday, but Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols got most of the work late in the game while nursing a lead, with Ekeler ultimately taking just four touches after halftime.

    Analysis: Robinson was a game-time decision last week, with reports Saturday night and Sunday morning suggesting he was expected to play.

Nevertheless, Robinson had a decent performance when called upon, tallying a long gain of 19 yards while gaining at least four yards on half of his 16 carries. The Commanders' only touchdown came on a Hail Mary to end the game, which also ended Robison's four-game streak of reaching the end zone.

    Analysis: With back-to-back absences to begin Week 6 prep due to a lingering knee issue, Robinson has just one more chance to mix into drills before week's end. Having said that, he followed a similar practice regimen last week before returning as limited Friday, getting tagged as questionable and eventually being active this past Sunday against the Browns. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Robinson has a designation ahead of Sunday's contest at Baltimore. Meanwhile, fellow…read more

  • Sits out Wednesday's practice

    Robinson (knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Robinson appears to be following a similar practice regimen this week as he did last week, when he managed just one limited session Friday. He was listed as questionable and was ultimately active for this past Sunday's win over the Browns, but he earned a season-low 34 percent snap share while working in tandem with Austin Ekeler (49 percent) and Jeremy McNichols (22 percent) out of the Commanders backfield. Robinson took advantage of his seven carries on his way to 18 yards and two touchdowns,…read more

  • Finds end zone twice in win

    Robinson carried the ball seven times for 18 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: While both Austin Ekeler and quarterback Jayden Daniels had more rushing yards than Robinson, the latter was the Commanders' preferred option at the goal line, and he punched in a four-yard TD in the first quarter and a one-yard score in the second. Robinson might have had a third short touchdown in a closer game, but with Washington already ahead 24-6 in the third quarter, Jeremy McNichols got the call for a three-yard TD plunge instead. Robinson has five rushing touchdowns in five games to…read more

  • Active in Week 5

    Robinson (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Browns.

    Analysis: Robinson tended to a knee injury during Week 5 prep, capping him to one limited practice (Friday) and a questionable listing for Sunday's contest. The issue won't stop him from being available to the Commanders backfield, but with Austin Ekeler (concussion) back after one game missed and Jeremy McNichols faring well Week 4 (eight carries for 68 yards and two TDs), Robinson may have a scaled-back role. Still, Robinson hasn't lacked for work (18.5 touches per game) in the first four outings of…read more

  • Should be available Sunday

    Robinson (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, is "good to go," Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Commanders haven't officially changed Robinson's injury designation, but the third-year back should be cleared to play upon the release of Washington's inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The third-year back missed practices Wednesday and Thursday before participating in limited fashion Friday. Washington will also have top backup Austin Ekeler at its disposal after the veteran missed the Week 4 win over the Cardinals due to a concussion.

    Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Robinson returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, with coach Dan Quinn saying the running back is "trending the right way" but still figures to be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Fellow Commanders running back Austin Ekeler has cleared concussion protocol and presumably will handle his largest role of the season if Robinson is inactive (or has his workload scaled back) this Sunday.

  • Likely game-time decision

    Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Robinson (knee) is "trending the right way" but will be a game-time decision Sunday against Cleveland, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Robinson's return to practice Friday gives him a chance to play, following absences Wednesday and Thursday. Backfield mate Austin Ekeler has cleared concussion protocol after missing Week 4, so one of the options for Washington is to have Robinson active but reduce his workload.

The Commanders will post their final practice report of the week Friday, at which point their respective listings may be telling for who among the duo may be available Sunday against the Browns.

    Analysis: If Robinson ends up being a non-participant for a second straight session, he'll have just one more day to test out the health of his knee before the Commanders potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game against the Browns. Fellow RB Austin Ekeler is working his way through the concussion protocol, so Jeremy McNichols is the only healthy player at the position on the active roster, while Chris Rodriguez, Michael Wiley and Kazmeir Allen are the options on the practice squad.

  • Sits out with knee injury

    Robinson was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Robinson is dealing with his first known health concern of the campaign, coming on the heels of the running back handling a season-high 24 touches for 113 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown this past Sunday at Arizona. The increased workload may stem from the fact that the Commanders didn't have Austin Ekeler (concussion) available to the backfield.

  • Tops century mark with TD

    Robinson rushed 21 times for 101 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 42-14 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Robinson's six-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter started a string of 24 unanswered Commanders points as Washington easily overcame an early seven-point deficit. Jeremy McNichols took over the change-of-pace role usually filled by Austin Ekeler (concussion) and scored two rushing touchdowns, but Robinson saw a season-high 21 rushing attempts and remains the clear lead back heading into a Week 5 home game against the Browns.

  • Could take more touches sans Ekeler

    Robinson could be in store for an expanded role Sunday against the Cardinals with fellow running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) having been ruled out for the Week 4 contest, Ben Standing and Amos Morale III of The Athletic report.

    Analysis: Third-string back Jeremy McNichols took one carry on seven snaps after Ekeler left Monday's 38-33 win over Cincinnati in the third quarter, while Robinson played 25 snaps (76 percent) and handled nine touches during the second half. Already averaging 15.0 carries, 2.7 targets and 87.3 total yards per game, Robinson may get a bit of extra work while McNichols mixes in as the passing-down back instead of Ekeler.

  • Scores rush TD on inefficient night

    Robinson rushed 16 times for 33 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for four yards in the Commanders' 38-33 win over the Bengals on Monday.

    Analysis: Robinson's final line underscores how difficult running room was to come by for the third-year back, but he salvaged his fantasy night with a one-yard touchdown run just past the midway point of the first quarter that answered an early Bengals score. Backfield mate Austin Ekeler, who'd recorded a rushing TD of his own, eventually exited the game due to a concussion, so Robinson could see a slight uptick in overall work in a Week 4 road matchup against the Cardinals if his teammate can't pass…read more

    Robinson carried the ball 17 times for 133 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The third-year running back set a new career high in rushing yards, topping the 105 yards he put together in Week 12 of the 2022 season. While Robinson couldn't get into the end zone Sunday, he helped keep the chains moving as the Commanders mounted seven drives that ended in field goals. Austin Ekeler also had a productive game with 85 scrimmage yards, but Robinson is the clear top option in the Commanders' backfield heading into a Week 3 clash with the Bengals.

    Analysis: Robinson finished with 12 carries and four targets to Austin Ekeler's two carries and four targets, though Ekeler (52) was the only Commander to post more receiving yards than Robinson in the game. Robinson's production included a seven-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter and a 32-yard reception in the third quarter that set up a one-yard Jayden Daniels rushing touchdown on the next play.

  • Gets first RB touch Saturday

    Robinson rushed three times for 22 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in the Commanders' 13-6 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Robinson logged the Commanders' first touch from scrimmage, which went for no gain, before rattling off a pair of 11-yard runs on consecutive plays to open Washington's second possession. Robinson and Austin Ekeler split snaps on the first two drives, with both then coming out of the game at the same time as QB Jayden Daniels and WR Terry McLaurin. While Ekeler figures to have a significant role, especially on passing downs, Robinson is set to enter Week 1 as Washington's lead runner.

    Robinson rushed five times for 20 yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 20-17 preseason loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: 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…read more

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."

    Robinson is slated to compete for backfield work with veteran Austin Ekeler, whom the Commanders are set to sign to a two-year contract, Kris Rhim of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Robinson will also lose one form of competition with Antonio Gibson set to sign with the Patriots, but it's seems clear that Washington felt the need to bring in an established pass catcher out of the backfield. Ekeler is coming off the worst season of his career in terms of efficiency, though he did deal with a high-ankle sprain and questionable blocking. Robinson, on the other hand, improved his YPC to 4.1 after managing only 3.9 as a rookie, finishing with 733 rushing yards and five scores…read more

    Robinson carried the ball nine times for 25 yards and caught all three of his targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The rushing yards total, while feeble, led the Commanders on the day, and Robinson also lost a fumble -- although he atoned for it with a one-yard TD grab early in the second quarter when the outcome of the game was still in doubt. The second-year RB showed growth in his skills in 2023, establishing himself as a fairly reliable receiving option and improving his YPC marginally from 3.9 as a rookie to 4.1.

  • Tallies 76 yards in return

    Robinson rushed the ball nine times for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers. He added four receptions on four targets for 32 yards.

    Analysis: Robinson returned from a two-game absence caused by a hamstring injury and immediately retook the primary role in Washington's backfield. He accounted for 13 total touches as compared to six for Antonio Gibson and led the team with 76 scrimmage yards. Robinson is likely to maintain the same role in Week 18, though his production could have to come primarily as a pass catcher given the likelihood that the Commanders are playing from behind against the Cowboys.

Chris Rodriguez (ankle) filled in as the lead runner and had a pair of rushing TD in last week's loss to the Jets, but he then landed on injured reserve, leaving little question about Robinson's role over the final two weeks.

The Commanders may be anticipating Robinson being active Sunday against the 49ers after placing fellow running back Chris Rodriguez (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday.

The extent of Robinson's injury isn't known, but the second-year running back will at least have the benefit of a well-timed Week 14 bye to recover from the health concern before the Commanders return to action Dec. 17 against the Rams.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Robinson was highly effective as a runner and also recorded multiple catches for the fourth time in the last five contests. However, the second-year back's opportunities were limited as the game went on, capping Robinson's overall output.

    Analysis: Robinson encountered tough sledding on the ground against a feisty Falcons front, but he found the end zone as a receiver for the first time since Week 1 on an impressive 24-yard catch and run early in the third quarter. The second-year back is now in a three-game funk as a runner, as he hasn't eclipsed 45 rushing yards in any contest during that span.

  • More production as receiver in loss

    Robinson rushed six times for 10 yards and brought in all four targets for 33 yards in the Commanders' 40-20 loss to the Bears on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Robinson's viability in the ground attack quickly evaporated when the Commanders fell behind by more than three touchdowns in the first half. That helped push him into more of a pass-catching role, resulting in a season high in receptions. Conversely, Robinson's carries and rushing yardage were both low-water marks for him this season, but he should have the benefit of a more normal game script in a Week 6 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 15.

  • Finds end zone in OT loss

    Robinson carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for six yards in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: The running back found paydirt midway through the fourth quarter on a 15-yard run, tying the game at 24-24 and setting up a wild finish. The yardage was Robinson's lowest in four games so far this season, but he's scored four TDs along the way to maintain strong fantasy value. He could be poised for an even bigger performance in Week 5 against a Bears defense that was just gashed for over 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown by Denver rookie RB Jaleel McLaughlin.

  • Efficient on ground in loss

    Robinson rushed 10 times for 70 yards and wasn't targeted in the Commanders' 37-3 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Analysis: Robinson was outstanding on a per-touch basis, but game script and his lack of targets capped his overall production. The second-year back has looked appreciably more explosive early this season after playing a shortened rookie campaign due to a leg injury, and prior to Sunday, he'd drawn five targets over the first two games. Robinson and the Commanders have another unenviable matchup when they face the Eagles on the road in a Week 4 road contest.

  • Big fantasy day

    Robinson rushed 18 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns while adding 42 yards on two receptions (three targets) in Sunday's 35-33 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Robinson helped rally the Commanders to a three-score comeback win with two touchdowns in the second half. The 24-year-old acted as Washington's lead back, receiving 18 of the 20 carries issued to running backs Sunday. Robinson followed up last week's receiving touchdown with a pair of 21-yard receptions, which should be considered a bonus for fantasy managers given his minimal usage as a receiver in past seasons. He'll look to continue his red-hot start to the 2023 season against the Bills…read more

  • Hauls in TD pass

    Robinson carried the ball 19 times for 59 yards and caught one of two targets for a seven-yard touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The second-year running back got Washington on the board late in the first quarter when he slipped out into the flat and gave Sam Howell an open target as the quarterback tried to escape an Arizona pass rush that rang up six sacks on the afternoon. Robinson had only nine catches and one receiving TD in 12 games as a rookie, so that kind of production likely won't become a regular occurrence, but he still appears to be the top option on the ground for the Commanders.

  • Splits with Gibson again

    Robinson took five carries for 21 yards and four catches for 17 yards in Monday's preseason game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: He and Antonio Gibson worked in what appeared close to a 50/50 split, with the latter recording four carries for 15 yards and three catches for 10 yards and a touchdown. It was essentially the same rotation as the previous week, including Robinson being the starter, only with Washington's first unit playing an entire half instead of the first 19 minutes of game time. The split won't necessarily be this even once games count, but the smart money is on Robinson and Gibson both getting a bunch of…read more

    Robinson carried the ball three times for 16 yards in Friday's preseason win over the Browns.

    Analysis: The start of the game was delayed due to a thunderstorm, but the Commanders elected to send out their first-team offense to begin the night even with wet field conditions. Robinson ended up seeing one less touch than Antonio Gibson (two carries, two receptions) over three drives before the backups took over, perhaps giving an early glimpse at how new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy plans to split the workload in the backfield.

  • Feeling healthier for Year 2

    Robinson said Friday that he feels healthier than he ever was last season, ESPN's John Keim reports.

    Analysis: Four months after being drafted in the third round last spring, Robinson was shot in the leg twice in an attempted carjacking two weeks before the start of the regular season. He came back Week 5 and quickly became Washington's lead runner, averaging 17.1 carries for 66.4 yards in 12 games. It sounds like Robinson anticipates being more explosive this year, after averaging only 3.9 yards per carry with a long gain of 24 last season. He also mentioned the likelihood of seeing more targets (12…read more

The 2022 third-round pick had an eventful debut campaign, missing the first four games after he was the victim of a shooting before he returned to average 17.1 carries for 66.6 yards (3.9 YPC) over the next 12 games.

Williams had been the No. 3 option since late November, but that might be more for special-teams reasons and doesn't ensure he'll get more touches than Patterson on Sunday.

Even if Robinson demonstrates enough progress in his recovery from the knee injury to suit up this weekend, he could be in store for a more limited role than usual, given that the Commanders have been eliminated from playoff contention and may be reluctant to expose the running back to further injury heading into the offseason.

    Robinson was a non-participant at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Neither Robinson nor Antonio Gibson (knee/foot) logged any on-field work to begin Week 18 prep, so the Commanders backfield currently is without its top two options. Gibson sat out Week 17 due to his pair of injuries, while Robinson's health concern is a new one, so the entire situation will be one to watch to get a sense of who may be available Sunday versus the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Robinson accounted for 24 of 33 carries by Commnaders' running backs in the absence of Antonio Gibson (knee), which helped him to a mediocre performance despite a lack of big plays. Robinson managed only one carry of more than 10 yards and was limited to 3.6 yards per attempt. Even so, he has at least 80 rushing yards in five of his last seven games.

    Robinson should have expanded usage Sunday with Antonio Gibson (knee) unavailable against the Browns, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gibson was ruled out Friday after missing practice throughout the week. He'd taken a backseat to Robinson in recent weeks anyway, but this could open the door for the rookie to play more snaps and draw more targets. He's averaged 18.1 carries for 76.4 yards over the past seven games, starting each week, but with only 1.0 catch for 6.7 yards on 1.3 targets per game.

  • Bottled up in tough matchup

    Robinson ran for 58 yards on 22 carries and failed to haul in his lone target in Saturday's 37-20 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Robinson was met with brick walls on seemingly every one of his 22 carries (second-highest total this year) against San Francisco's stout front seven Saturday. Backup Antonio Gibson managed just 10 rushing yards on five carries, so the pecking order in Washington's backfield should remain unchanged after an overall down performance from the group.

The 2022 third-round selection continued to outproduce and out-touch veteran Antonio Gibson (5/21/0), further establishing himself as the Commanders' lead back and preferred fantasy option.

    Analysis: Robinson was limited in all three of Washington's practices coming out of the Week 14 bye, but that won't keep him from playing in the pivotal Week 15 showdown with the Giants. The rookie running back rushed for 96 yards on 15 carries and caught both of his targets for 15 yards against the same opponent in Washington's previous game.

Both running backs appear on track to play Sunday against the Giants, with Robinson the favorite to get more carries after running 39 times for 201 yards between Weeks 12 and 13. That included a 21-96-0 rushing and 2-15-0 receiving line a couple weeks ago against the same Giants defense he'll face Sunday.

  • Leads backfield in tie

    Robinson rushed 21 times for 96 yards and secured both targets for 15 yards in the Commanders' 20-20 tie with the Giants on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Washington.

    Analysis: The rookie once again helmed the backfield, out-carrying Antonio Gibson by a 12-tote margin while also tying his teammate with a pair of receptions, albeit on two fewer targets. Robinson's long run went for a modest 16 yards, so it was a grind-it-out type of effort for the Alabama product. Robinson now has 201 rushing yards on 39 carries in the last two games alone, seemingly affording him an unquestioned lead-back role going into the team's Week 14 bye.

    Analysis: Robinson led the Washington backfield with 22 touches compared to 12 for Antonio Gibson. That likely had to do with game script, as Washington held a small lead for the majority of the game and was content to keep the ball on the ground in rainy weather. Robinson took advantage of the opportunity by topping 100 rushing yards in a game for the first time in his career while ripping off runs of 21, 12 and 11 yards to get there. He also found his way to the end zone on a 14-yard score to tally…read more

    Analysis: After watching Antonio Gibson score from one yard out in the first quarter, Robinson matched that feat late in the second. Robinson was bottled up initially but kept his legs churning and had the wherewithal to reach the ball across the goal line before he was ruled down. The rookie third-round pick out of Alabama set new career highs in carries and rushing yards, so his arrow's pointing up ahead of a juicy Week 11 matchup with Houston's league-worst run defense.

    Analysis: Robinson was once again mostly stymied on the ground, with his long run of the day going for just six yards. The rookie outpaced backfield mate Antonio Gibson by just two carries overall after checking in second to him in that category Week 8, but he should continue to helm the ground game in a tough Week 10 road matchup against the Eagles on Monday night, Nov. 14.

    Robinson carried the ball eight times for 20 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Coming off a 20-carry performance, Robinson took a back seat to Antonio Gibson in Sunday's win. He was completely uninvolved as a receiver and ineffective as a runner, as he averaged only 2.5 yards per carry and his longest rush of the day went for just seven yards. Robinson could continue to serve as the Commanders' lead back moving forward, though this performance highlights the fragility of his production given his lack of involvement as a pass catcher and the continued involvement of Gibson.

Both of Washington's top two running backs should continue to play prominent roles in Week 8 against the Colts and beyond.

    Coach Ron Rivera indicated Monday that doctors are optimistic regarding the recovery of Robinson, who was a shooting victim in an attempted robbery in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. In an Instagram post Monday, Robinson relayed that his "surgery went well."

    Analysis: Per Keim, Commanders team officials are slated to talk to doctors later Monday to get a further update on the status of the rookie running back, who sustained wounds to his lower extremities Sunday. At that time, the team plans to make a decision on whether to place Robinson on the non-football injury list. If so, he would miss at least the first four games of the upcoming season.

  • Victim of shooting

    Robinson is in stable condition Sunday after he was a shooting victim in an attempted robbery in Washington, D.C., Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Robinson was shot a number of times, including at least twice in the lower-body area. Fortunately for the rookie running back, the resulting injuries aren't life-threatening. Robinson put together a strong training camp and preseason, pushing presumed No. 1 RB Antonio Gibson for early-down and short-yardage work. However, the 2022 third-round pick will now focus on recovering from Sunday's incident.

  • Not in line to play Saturday

    Robinson isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game in Baltimore.

    Analysis: Robinson will join fellow running backs Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic and Jonathan Williams in street clothes for the Commanders' exhibition finale. In the first two preseason contests, Robinson had 14 carries for 57 yards (4.1 YPC) and one touchdown while hauling in both targets for 15 yards. It remains to be seen where the rookie third-round pick will stand in the RB pecking order in Washington come Week 1, but he's put himself in a position to be in the mix with Gibson for early down and…read more

  • Starts over Gibson

    Robinson got the start at running back in Saturday's 24-14 preseason loss to the Chiefs and rushed eight times for 31 yards.

    Analysis: Robinson started the game and played most of the first three drives, while Antonio Gibson mixed in occasionally over that span. The rookie third-round pick wasn't targeted in the passing game, so he'll likely sit in favor of Gibson and J.D. McKissic in passing situations, but Robinson looks like the favorite to get most of the early-down rushing work for Washington, including the all-important goal-line touches.

  • Makes most of opportunity

    Robinson gained 26 yards on six carries and a touchdown in Saturday's 23-21 preseason loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Robinson recorded his first carry on the team's third offensive possession. He ripped off gains of 11, six and five yards before finishing the drive with a one-yard plunge into the end zone. Robinson could continue to earn more of a role in the offense, particularly after Antonio Gibson fumbled deep in Washington's own territory Saturday.

  • Getting first-team reps

    Robinson likely will get short-yardage carries this season, and he's already getting extra work in practice while Antonio Gibson recovers from a hamstring injury, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Standig suggests the Commanders want Gibson to get more touches in space and fewer between the tackles, perhaps relying on his excellent athleticism more and his questionable vision less. Robinson could take some of that work off Gibson's plate, with the rookie third-round pick potentially forming a timeshare with J.D. McKissic in the event Gibson's injury woes stretch into the regular season. Robinson reportedly got most of the first-team backfield snaps through the first couple days of…read more
