Brian Robinson Jr. has been rapidly demoted and removed from Washington Commanders' immediate plans. He had been projected as the lead back in 2025 after praised renewed focus and expectations of offensive-line investments. Commanders explored trade interest and kept Robinson out of the preseason Monday Night Football game. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Robinson was excused from practice and promised updates soon. The team now prioritizes alternatives, including rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Chris Rodriguez Jr. General manager Adam Peters seeks to obtain value in return rather than prolong the situation. Robinson is preparing to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
Reports surfaced about the Commanders shopping Robinson to gauge interest around the league. Then, a mutual decision was made to k eep him out of Washington's preseason contest versus the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. All eyes were on Wednesday's practice to see if Robinson would be involved. Quinn made another emphatic stance, revealing that the Alabama product had been excused from practice, and an end to this latest saga will be confirmed in the not-too-distant future.
Any slim hope the Robinson loyalists among the fan base had of him getting a late reprieve is over. The Commanders have decided he's not part of their short or long-term plans. They are encouraged enough in other options, which include seventh-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt and the resurgent Chris Rodriguez Jr. Instead of waiting, Peters is looking to get back something in return rather than letting this drag out.
