During the Washington Commanders’ clash with the Dallas Cowboys, running back Brian Robinson Jr. encountered a concerning injury. Early in the game, the injury forced him off the field. This has left fans eager for updates on his condition and its potential impact on the team.
Here is more about Washington Commanders’ Brian Robinson Jr.’s injury and possible return to the field.
How did Brian Robinson Jr get injured?
The Commanders faced an early scare during their Week 12 game against the Cowboys when running back Brian Robinson Jr. suffered an ankle injury. While carrying the ball, Robinson was tackled in a way that caused his ankle and lower leg to be pinned beneath a Cowboys defender. The collision left him on the ground and he was in visible pain. The medical staff rushed to assess the situation.
Robinson walked off the field on his own but quickly took a seat on the sidelines, appearing uncomfortable. He was later taken to the locker room for further evaluation, raising fears of a significant injury. However, Robinson returned to the game shortly after and managed to play in two additional series before being sidelined for the remainder of the matchup.
With his limited involvement later in the game, Robinson’s condition will remain under observation ahead of Washington’s next matchup.
When will Brian Robinson Jr return to play for NFL?
Brian Robinson Jr. is currently listed as questionable to return as further evaluations are expected to determine the severity of the injury. There is no exact timeline for when will Robinson return to the field.
This isn’t Robinson’s first injury setback. He has already missed time this season due to recurring hamstring issues, which kept him out of a few games. A knee injury earlier in the season further impacted his availability. Just last week, Robinson made a strong return against the Eagles, rushing for 63 yards and a touchdown.
