The Washington Commanders have designated rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. to return to practice on Wednesday, just 38 days after he was shot multiple times in the leg.
Robinson, a third-round pick out of Alabama in the 2022 NFL draft, was shot on Aug. 28 when he went to Washington D.C.'s H Street corridor to get something to eat. Two bullets hit his right leg and traveled through his knee, but both miraculously missed ligaments, tendons and bones. The 23-year-old was transported to the hospital for treatment and had successful surgery on Aug.
