Two days after being shot in an attempted robbery in Washington, D.C., rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. was released from the hospital and back at team headquarters.
With a bag of Oreos in hand, Robinson came through the front door at the Commanders headquarters in Ashburn Tuesday and was treated by several members of the organization, including head coach Ron Rivera.
Robinson was smiling as he greeted running backs coach Randy Jordan, assistant running backs coach Jennifer King and Rivera.

The Commanders finalized their first 53-man roster of the season on Tuesday and included Robinson. There was some thought he could be placed on the non-football injury (NFI) list and miss the first four games of the season. However, there is optimism that he could return sooner than later.
While Robinson could still miss several games to start the season, keeping him on the active roster gives the Commanders options.
As for the Oreos, Robinson was fulfilling his rookie duties.
