Brian Robinson avoids major injury vs. Cowboys
The 25-year-old is having his best season to date, rushing for 524 yards on a career-high 4.5 yards per carry, to go along with seven touchdowns. He’s added 10 receptions for 88 yards.
His return to the game is great news for the Commanders, who looked to have lost their starting tailback for at least the day. Instead, Robinson will look to help Washington snap a two-game skid and give the Cowboys their sixth consecutive defeat.
