Brian Robinson Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Garners 72 total yards, TD in loss 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.

Impact Robinson opened the scoring on a one-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter, his seventh rushing score of the season. Six of those trips to the end zone have come in the last six contests, and Robinson has at least Thursday's rushing yardage total in four of the last five games. Robinson does continue to be clear lead back when healthy -- Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols combined for only five rush attempts against Philadelphia -- and that pattern should continue in a highly favorable Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Ready to return in Week 11 Robinson (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Philadelphia, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact After missing the last two games due to a lingering hamstring injury, Robinson will be back in action Week 11. His full 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 RB reps, too. In seven contests this season, Robinson is averaging 15.7 touches for 77.1 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring six rushing TDs.

Stays limited in walkthrough Robinson (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact After sitting out both of the Commanders' last two games with the hamstring injury, Robinson has now been listed as limited on the team's first two Week 11 injury reports, both of which were estimates. Earlier Tuesday, head coach Dan Quinn told JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington that the Commanders will hold a higher-intensity practice Wednesday, so Robinson's activity during that session will likely be telling with regard to his status for Thursday's game in Philadelphia. If Robinson ends up sitting out a third straight game or is available in only a limited capacity Thursday, Austin Ekeler could continue to operate as Washington's lead back after earning double-digit touches the past two weeks.

Estimated as limited Monday Robinson (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact Robinson didn't practice this past Friday before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Though the Commanders merely held a walk-through Monday, Robinson's 'limited' listing suggests that he may have a chance to return to the lineup Thursday night against the Eagles. Look for further context regarding his Week 11 status to arrive no later than Tuesday, when Washington's next injury report is issued. If Robinson remains sidelined versus Philadelphia, Austin Ekeler would be in line for another start at running back, with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez mixing in.

Ruled out for Week 10 Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Robinson ended up inactive as a game-time decision last week and now will miss a second straight game. 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. A tighter game could work more in Ekeler's favor, and he's at least a good bet to dominate backfield snaps on passing downs. Robinson's next chance to play will be Thursday against the Eagles, four days after the matchup with Pittsburgh.

Impact Robinson was a game-time decision last week, with reports Saturday night and Sunday morning suggesting he was expected to play. The Commanders then made him inactive for a 28-23 win over the Giants -- a series of events that likely will have fantasy managers approaching the situation with great caution this week. Robinson was a limited practice participant all last week and again this Wednesday and Thursday.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited session Robinson (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact Robinson remains with a cap on his practice reps for a second week in a row due to a hamstring injury. On the first occasion this past Sunday against the Giants, he was inactive, so it remains to be seen if another absence is in the offing. In any case, Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and practice-squad member Chris Rodriguez are on hand in the event Robinson sits out again this weekend.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Robinson (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact A limited participant all last week, Robinson was listed as questionable on the final injury report and ended up inactive for a 28-23 win over the Giants on Sunday. His absence freed up a larger role for Austin Ekeler, but the Commanders also gave Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez a lot of work, especially late in the game while trying to run out the clock with a lead.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to practice Wednesday Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that Robinson (hamstring) will practice Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact The extent of Robinson's participation won't be known until Washington releases its first Week 10 injury report later Wednesday, but Quinn said that the staff is "really going to push it" with the running back in advance of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Despite being listed as questionable coming out of the Commanders' final Week 9 practice last Friday, Robinson had been expected to play against the Giants, but he was a surprise inactive ahead of the team's eventual 27-22 win. Assuming Robinson navigates the upcoming week of practice without any setbacks with his hamstring, he should be ready to step back in as the Commanders' lead runner, while Austin Ekeler returns to a change-of-pace role.

Inactive in Week 9 Robinson (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday at the Giants.

Impact Robinson was limited during Week 9 prep due to a hamstring injury, entering the weekend as questionable to suit up Sunday. Following a pregame warmup that didn't appear to go well, he's now confirmed to be out for the second time this season. With Robinson unavailable, Austin Ekeler likely will lead the Commanders backfield, with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez also on hand for RB reps.

Likely inactive Sunday Robinson (hamstring) is expected to be inactive Sunday at the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact After being limited in practice during the entirety of Week 9 prep due to a hamstring injury, Robinson entered the weekend as questionable. He then took part in a pregame warmup that apparently didn't go swimmingly, and following a lengthy discussion with the Commanders' training staff, things begin to trend toward him not suiting up. Now that it's confirmed Robinson is out for Sunday's game, the Commanders backfield likely will be paced by Austin Ekeler, while Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez will be on hand for any RB reps that linger.

Impact Per Garafolo, the Commanders are in line to work Robinson out, but at this stage it appears as though the running back is slated to be available versus New York. Either way, official confirmation of Robinson's Week 9 status will arrive when Washington's inactives are posted in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Appears set to play Sunday Robinson (hamstring), who is questionable for Sunday's battle against the Giants, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Robinson dealt with a hamstring injury throughout the week and was held to a trio of limited practice sessions. Despite the issue, it appears he'll suit up and take the field in the NFC East matchup versus New York. Robinson racked up 133 yards on 17 carries against the Giants when the teams met for the first time this season in Week 2.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Robinson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. Austin Ekeler becomes a strong fantasy play if Robinson is inactive, with Jeremy McNichols then stepping in as the No. 2 back and perhaps offering deep-league value.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited Thursday Robinson (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Impact After tending to a knee injury for most of October that resulted in one DNP and another abbreviated outing, Robinson now is dealing with a new health concern that so far has capped his reps this week. He thus will have one more chance to get back to full participation or else potentially risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's road game against the Giants. In the six contests in which he's earned at least a 40 percent snap share, Robinson has averaged 17.2 touches for 87 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring four rushing TDs.

Listed with hamstring injury Robinson (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Robinson dealt with a knee injury the past month, missing one full game and half of another. That's apparently cleared up, but now he's listed with a hamstring injury, albeit one that probably isn't serious given his practice participation at the start of the week. Any limitations this Sunday against the Giants would lead to more work for Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols.

Modest numbers in win Robinson rushed the ball 16 times for 65 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears. He added one reception on one target for 11 yards.

Impact The Commanders let standout rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels lead the offense, as he took to the air 38 times and also accounted for eight of the team's 32 rush attempts. 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.
