Ron Rivera says Brian Robinson is in ‘good spirits’

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson is being treated for his injuries after being shot two times in the lower extremities during a suspected armed robbery attempt Sunday evening in Washington, D.C. A contingency of Commanders team officials were at a local hospital with Robinson and his family, including head coach Ron Rivera.

After visiting with Robinson, Rivera provided an update saying Robinson is in “good spirits.”

“I just got done visiting [with] Brian. He is in good spirits and wanted me to thank everyone for their kind words, prayers & support. He wants his teammates to know he appreciates them all for reaching out and he loves them all & will be back soon doing what he does best.”

It’s unclear the extent of Robinson’s injuries. However, the team confirmed he has non-life threatening injuries in a statement released late Sunday night. Rivera’s update on Robinson is promising.

Brian Robinson flashed throughout training camp and preseason. He looked primed to be the Commanders starting running back heading into Week 1 of the regular season. Hopefully he’ll make a full recovery and can continue his pro career.

We all will have to wait for further updates to learn of Robinson’s status pertaining to playing.
