Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. injury update vs. Cowboys

Robinson departed the game after his first carry, but returned.

On the Washington Commanders’ first play from scrimmage, starting running back Brian Robinson Jr. lost two yards but remained down on the field after the play.

It appeared Robinson had suffered an ankle injury but walked off under his own power. Robinson moved around on the sideline, went into the locker room, and quickly returned to the sideline.

Washington said he was questionable to return.

Apparently, Robinson is just fine. He went into the locker room, had an X-ray, which was negative, had his ankle taped up, and returned to the game on Washington’s next possession. Robinson carried the ball three times for 15 yards.

Robinson missed three games this season with knee and hamstring injuries. He returned last week against the Eagles and rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown in his first game back.
