In late August, Robinson was shot in Washington, D.C., sustaining multiple gunshot wounds in his leg. In mid-September, Robinson was observed at Commanders practice using a bike on the side of the field. Earlier this week, Robinson was medically cleared to participate in practice.
Robinson played at Alabama from 2017-to-2021, capping his Crimson Tide career by earning first-team All-SEC honors in his final season. Washington selected Robinson in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft (No. 98 overall).
The Commanders are off to a 1-3 start in the 2022 season. Sunday’s home game against the Tennessee Titans is set for 1 p.m. ET, airing on CBS.
