On Tuesday, the Washington Commanders had starting running back Antonio Gibson working with the first, second and third teams, in addition to working on special teams. Head coach Ron Rivera downplayed it, noting rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. was doing the same.
This was newsworthy because Gibson, who had a fumbling problem last year, fumbled in Washington’s first preseason game. The turnover led to an easy Carolina touchdown. Meanwhile, Robinson shined in his first NFL action, showing his ability to run between the tackles and impact the passing game.
