Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson was medically cleared by the team’s training staff less than six weeks after he was shot twice in an armed robbery attempt, coach Ron Rivera said Monday.
Robinson, who was shot twice in the leg on Aug. 28 in Washington D.C., has been on the reserve/non-injury list, which kept him out for at least the first four games of the 2022 season. NFL Network reported the bullets struck the 23-year-old in the glute and the knee but missed all major ligaments, tendons and bone.
Robinson returned to the practice field for the first time since the incident on Sept. 15.
