Once we learned that Brian Robinson was relatively healthy following the terrifying news that he had undergone surgery after being shot in a carjacking attempt in Washington, DC, it seemed inevitable that he would eventually be placed on he NFI (non-football injury) reserve list to give him time to heal, both physically and mentally. That has now happened.
The soonest that the rookie running back can return to play is the Week 5 game against the Titans (the same as DE Chase Young) but head coach Ron Rivera and GM Martin Mayhew made it clear at a recent press conference that there is no timeline and no hurry for Robinson to return, reiterating that the team’s concern is for the young man’s physical and emotional well-being.
