Brian Robinson Jr. is a vital part of the Washington Commanders offense. The sophomore running back is one of the few bright spots in yet another disappointing season in Washington. The Alabama Crimson Tide alum posted another 500-plus rushing yards season in 2023 and could finish with 1,000.
However, the Commanders are sweating on Robinson Jr.'s fitness, with the Bama product missing yet another practice session on Wednesday. In this article, we give you the latest update on the versatile backfield star, what happened to him and his likely return date. So, without further ado, let's get to it.
