The Washington Commanders worked out former New Orleans Saints running backs James Robinson and Boston Scott to help fill the void after the team took some hits at the position.
Washington has been held back on the ground by the losses of Brian Robinson to an ankle injury and with Austin Ekeler dealing with concussion issues. They are now left with only Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez in reserve, both of whom were recently re-signed.
Robinson and Scott could provide some relief here, even if only for the interim.
It was not long ago the Saints too kicked the tires on Scott, their former sixth-round draft pick from the 2018 NFL draft out of Louisiana Tech. He did not make the active roster and was later picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles on the practice squad. He was solid in Philadelphia, putting up 1,295 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on 302 carries with the Eagles. He also tallied 71 receptions for 566 yards and a single score.
Robinson, who played out his college career at Illinois State, was a part of the Saints’ practice squad back in 2023 and he most recently played in just one game for the Green Bay Packers after spending some time with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
