Brian Robinson Jr. Cleared To Return In Week 17
12 months agoWashington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Week 17 and has been cleared to return this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old was injured in Week 13, had the Week 14 bye to rest and then missed Weeks 15 and 16. In his absence, rookie Chris Rodriguez Jr. (ankle) and pass-catching specialist Antonio Gibson split Washington's backfield. Rodriguez is now on Injured Reserve and will miss the final two regular season games, allowing Robinson to return to his early-down role for the Commanders. However, Robinson has a terrible matchup in his return against San Francisco's defense and could be eased back into a full-time role this weekend. B-Rob will be more of a volatile RB3/flex for fantasy managers in championship week.
