Report: Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. to Play vs. Titans 6 Weeks After Being Shot

The Washington Commanders are planning to make rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. active for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He will make his regular-season debut just six weeks after getting shot.

Washington activated Robinson from the non-football injury list last week, allowing him to practice with the team and build toward his first NFL game.

The rookie third-round draft pick out of Alabama was shot twice in the lower body during an attempted robbery on Aug. 28, which resulted in him missing the first month of the season.
