THE Washington Commanders will have running back Brian Robinson Jr. on the field for Thursday’s huge game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Commanders released their final injury report Wednesday, and Robinson received no injury designation for the game, meaning he will play.
Robinson missed the last two games with a hamstring injury and was also limited by a knee injury that cost him the Week 6 game against Baltimore. Despite missing three games, Robinson totaled 461 yards and six touchdowns.
Robinson’s return means the Commanders will have their entire backfield in action against an excellent Philadelphia run defense. Washington’s rushing attack was most effective when Robinson and Austin Ekeler were available. Robinson’s return allows offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury to be more creative with Ekeler.
In three career games against the Eagles, Robinson has totaled 190 yards and three touchdowns.
In more worrying news, Washington’s top three offensive tackles are listed as questionable: Brandon Coleman (shoulder), Andrew Wylie (shoulder) and Cornelius Lucas (ankle).
Lucas has missed the last two games, while Wylie missed Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh. Head coach Dan Quinn spoke to the media before practice and seemed positive about Lucas and Wylie, but did not mention Coleman.
