Commanders’ Week 9 inactives vs. Giants

The Washington Commanders released their inactive list before Sunday’s Week 9 showdown against the New York Giants. In some tough news, running back Brian Robinson Jr. is inactive and will not play against the Giants.

Robinson was listed as questionable on Friday’s final injury report with a hamstring injury. The third-year running back rushed for 133 yards against New York in September and has averaged 83 rushing yards per game in his career vs. the Giants.

Offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas is out with an injury. The Commanders ruled him out Friday. His co-starter at left tackle, rookie Brandon Coleman, is active and will start. Coleman missed last week’s game with a concussion.

Here’s Washington’s list of Week 9 inactives:

  • OT Cornelius Lucas
  • QB Jeff Driskel
  • RB Brian Robinson Jr.
  • S Darrick Forrest
  • TE Colson Yankoff
  • LB Dominique Hampton

Washington elevated Chris Rodriguez Jr. from the practice squad in anticipation of Robinson missing the game. So, the Commanders will have a running back rotation of Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and Rodriguez.
