While the Washington Commanders have not given an official update on Brian Robinson Jr., they will have a bye in Week 14 before returning to action against the Los Angeles Rams the following week.

Family & Sports Medicine Physician Jesse Morse shared that the injury will likely sideline the second-year running back for one to three weeks, tweeting:

"#Commanders Brian Robinson - hamstring strain, less common this late in season. Out 1-3 weeks. Antonio Gibson + Chris Rodriguez Jr."

When will Brian Robinson Jr. return?

It is unclear if Robinson Jr. will be available when the Commanders return to action. The former Alabama Crimson Tide will have an extra week to get healthy due to the timeliness of Washington's bye week.

Brian Robinson Jr. could be in line to return after the bye week, ensuring that he does not miss any additional game action. The timeline provided by Morse will likely lead to Robinson Jr. being designated a questionable tag coming out of the bye. Hamstrings, however, can be very tricky injuries and he could be out longer, depending on the severity of the strain.

If he remains out, Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez will likely share the lead back role. Robinson Jr. has been the Washington Commanders' leading rusher this season as he has recorded 664 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 160 carries. He has added 29 receptions for 326 yards and three touchdowns.
