Inactive in Week 9 Robinson (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday at the Giants.
Impact Robinson was limited during Week 9 prep due to a hamstring injury, entering the weekend as questionable to suit up Sunday. Following a pregame warmup that didn't appear to go well, he's now confirmed to be out for the second time this season. With Robinson unavailable, Austin Ekeler likely will lead the Commanders backfield, with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez also on hand for RB reps.

Likely inactive Sunday Robinson (hamstring) is expected to be inactive Sunday at the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact After being limited in practice during the entirety of Week 9 prep due to a hamstring injury, Robinson entered the weekend as questionable. He then took part in a pregame warmup that apparently didn't go swimmingly, and following a lengthy discussion with the Commanders' training staff, things begin to trend toward him not suiting up. Now that it's confirmed Robinson is out for Sunday's game, the Commanders backfield likely will be paced by Austin Ekeler, while Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez will be on hand for any RB reps that linger.

Impact Per Garafolo, the Commanders are in line to work Robinson out, but at this stage it appears as though the running back is slated to be available versus New York. Either way, official confirmation of Robinson's Week 9 status will arrive when Washington's inactives are posted in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Appears set to play Sunday Robinson (hamstring), who is questionable for Sunday's battle against the Giants, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Robinson dealt with a hamstring injury throughout the week and was held to a trio of limited practice sessions. Despite the issue, it appears he'll suit up and take the field in the NFC East matchup versus New York. Robinson racked up 133 yards on 17 carries against the Giants when the teams met for the first time this season in Week 2.

Listed as questionable Robinson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. Austin Ekeler becomes a strong fantasy play if Robinson is inactive, with Jeremy McNichols then stepping in as the No. 2 back and perhaps offering deep-league value.

Remains limited Thursday Robinson (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Impact After tending to a knee injury for most of October that resulted in one DNP and another abbreviated outing, Robinson now is dealing with a new health concern that so far has capped his reps this week. He thus will have one more chance to get back to full participation or else potentially risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's road game against the Giants. In the six contests in which he's earned at least a 40 percent snap share, Robinson has averaged 17.2 touches for 87 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring four rushing TDs.

Listed with hamstring injury Robinson (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact Robinson dealt with a knee injury the past month, missing one full game and half of another. That's apparently cleared up, but now he's listed with a hamstring injury, albeit one that probably isn't serious given his practice participation at the start of the week. Any limitations this Sunday against the Giants would lead to more work for Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols.

Modest numbers in win Robinson rushed the ball 16 times for 65 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears. He added one reception on one target for 11 yards.
Impact The Commanders let standout rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels lead the offense, as he took to the air 38 times and also accounted for eight of the team's 32 rush attempts. Nevertheless, Robinson had a decent performance when called upon, tallying a long gain of 19 yards while gaining at least four yards on half of his 16 carries. The Commanders' only touchdown came on a Hail Mary to end the game, which also ended Robison's four-game streak of reaching the end zone.

Produces early in blowout win Robinson rushed the ball 12 times for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers. He was not targeted.
Impact Robinson returned after a one-game absence and delivered early on with eight carries for 53 yards and a touchdown before halftime. He found the end zone on an eight-yard scamper early in the second quarter and was efficient overall. The final stat line will suggest that Jeremy McNichols worked in an even split with Robinson, but the latter only saw three carries in the final two quarters due to the blowout nature of the contest. Robinson should shoulder a more significant workload in an NFC showdown against the Bears in Week 8.

Ready to roll in Week 7 Robinson (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Panthers.
Impact Robinson missed the Week 6 loss to the Ravens with his knee injury, but after managing a limited practice in each day of Week 7 prep, he's back on the field as expected. As such, Robinson should be back in his customary lead-back role in what has been one of the most inviting matchups for running backs thus far this season, as the Panthers are surrendering 153.5 rushing yards per game.

Expected to play Sunday Robinson (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact After not practicing at all last week and missing Week 6 against the Ravens, Robinson got in a round of limited practices this week and seemed to be trending in this direction. Robinson should step right back into his role atop the Commanders' backfield, handling the bulk of the early-down work. Austin Ekeler will mix in and see the majority of the passing-down snaps. Jeremy McNichols should head back to his RB3 role.

Questionable after limited practice Robinson (knee) remained limited at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Robinson was a limited participant Wednesday through Friday, after sitting out all of last week and missing a 30-23 loss at Baltimore. He'll now try to play through his knee injury for a second time in three weeks, and while the matchup against a one-win, injury-riddled Panthers team is undoubtedly excellent, there is some added injury risk of Robinson ends up playing -- as we saw Week 5 when he scored two first-half TDs against the Browns but then didn't play in the second half and finished with just 18 total yards. Even with that risk, most fantasy manages will want Robinson in their lineups if he's listed as active ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Trending in right direction Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Robinson (knee) is "trending in the right direction" for Sunday's game against Carolina, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Robinson is on track for a 'questionable' designation, with Quinn saying no decision has been made on the running back's status for Sunday. Robinson returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant and remained limited for Thursday's session. He missed the Week 6 loss at Baltimore, after playing through his knee injury in a Week 5 win over Cleveland.

Another limited session Robinson (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Impact Robinson now has back-to-back capped sessions under his belt this week, giving him one more chance to get back to full participation Friday before the Commanders potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers. During Robinson's absence this past Sunday versus the Browns, Austin Ekeler handled most of the backfield reps on his way to 13 touches for 68 yards from scrimmage.

Limited in return to practice Robinson (knee) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Impact This marks Robinson's first on-field work of any type since a Week 5 win against the Browns, as he didn't practice last Wednesday through Friday before being ruled out for this past Sunday's game at Baltimore. A knee injury has been bothering him since Week 5 prep, and the two sessions that remain this week likely will be the determining factors into whether he has a chance to return to action Sunday against the Panthers. Austin Ekeler produced 68 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches in place of Robinson in Week 6.
