Commanders' Brian Robinson released from hospital
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson was released from the hospital.
Robinson was shot twice in the lower body during a robbery attempt on Sunday. His recovery timeline is still unknown, but doctors expressed optimism that the fourth-round rookie will be able to return this season. Antonio Gibson will likely be the Commanders' lead back to start the season, with J.D. McKissic operating as the preferred back on passing downs.
Robinson averaged 19.1 carries per game as a workhorse at Alabama and he scored 14 total touchdowns in his final college season. Prior to the shooting, numberFire's models projected Robinson for 182.0 carries and 30.6 targets, with Gibson tagged for 172.4 carries and 27.9 targets.
