Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson shot in attempted robbery: report

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson was shot in an attempted carjacking in Washington D.C., reports The Washington Post. 

Robinson is in stable condition after taking “at least two shots” to the lower body, per NFL Network.

Robinson, a third-round pick out of Alabama in this year’s NFL Draft, has been performing well at training camp for his new team behind running backs Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. 

In his first preseason game with the against the Carolina Panthers, he had 26 yards on six carries with a touchdown, while also catching both of his targets for 15 yards. Given that he didn’t play in the last preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, it was assumed that Robinson had already made enough of an impression to make the team.
