Robinson Jr. Back to Practice Field After Being Shot in Leg

Commanders rookie Brian Robinson Jr. took another inspiring step forward on his road to recovery Thursday less than three weeks after the running back was shot during a suspected armed robbery attempt.

Robinson, who was shot twice in the leg on Aug. 28, returned to the practice field for the first time since in the incident. The third-round pick in this year’s NFL draft participated in individual drills on the sidelines and showed he’s already making impressive strides courtesy of a video shared on social media showing him participating in agility drills.

Thursday’s encouraging update comes just two weeks after Robinson landed on the reserve/non-injury list. He will not be eligible to be activated until Week 5.
