On Thursday, the Washington Commanders continued preparing for the Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns without a key member of the offense.
Running back Brian Robinson Jr. missed his second consecutive practice with a knee injury. It’s not yet a cause for concern because Robinson could practice on Friday. Through four games this season, Robinson leads the Commanders with 307 rushing yards (4.7 YPC).
While Robinson missed practice, Austin Ekeler was back. Ekeler said on Wednesday his final test would be Thursday in pads. As a full participant, Ekeler appears ready for Sunday. He suffered a concussion in Week 3 and missed last week’s game.
