Robinson, who was shot twice during an armed robbery attempt in late August, missed the first four games of the season while recovering, and he could make his regular-season NFL debut as soon as Sunday, when the Commanders host the Tennessee Titans.
A third-round pick out of Alabama, Robinson arrived in Washington as a potential boost to a running backs room that already featured Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. But Robinson quickly proved he could be much more throughout organized team activities and training camp. Before his injuries, he was in line to earn time as a starter — perhaps on a rotating basis with Gibson, depending on the weekly game plan.
The Commanders are reeling after three consecutive losses, including two to NFC East opponents. The offense that impressed in Week 1 fizzled in subsequent weeks and now leads the league in sacks allowed and has the lowest yards per play .If there’s a bright spot, it has been Washington’s running game, which picked up 142 yards against the Cowboys. Robinson’s delayed debut should only add to the attack.
“If we can continue to establish the run, it’s going to help with the passing game, which is going to slow down the pass rush, which is going to open some things up,” Rivera said. “If you can get the pass rushers going sideways, it slows it down a little bit. And any time there’s the dual threat of a run-pass, it plays to our benefit. We’ve got to get to that. We’ve got to get better at that.”Rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson could be out for a week or two.
“He’s been doing very well, has been trending in the right direction,” Rivera said. “… We have to wait and see where he is after this week. But the doctors are optimistic. They’ve been pretty promising as far as their reports. It’s just that they feel he needs a little bit more time.”
