Briefly

Brian Robinson Jr. will be a healthy scratch for the preseason game against the Bengals, signaling that the Washington Commanders may be considering releasing him before the final year of his rookie contract.

Robinson, who had 799 rushing yards and eight touchdowns last season, has limited explosive runs. The Commanders have depth in running backs, including Chris Rodriguez Jr. and rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and could feature multiple backs this season.
