Is Brian Robinson OK?

By Nicholas Chimera

A DC Police Department said the incident happened on the 1000 block of H Street NE and is near the city’s Ben’s Chili Bowl. Brian Robinson suffered two gunshot wounds and was moved to an area hospital, the police department said. The Commanders said, “He survived non-life-threatening injuries and is currently being treated at the hospital, where officials are on-site with him.” They asked that at that time could everyone please respect Brian Robinson’s privacy and give him time to heal. Brian said on Instagram that he was out of surgery, and it went well, and his coach said on Monday the doctors are hopeful and confident about Robinson’s recovery. For Brian to be participating in practice is a great step towards his return and could possibly have Commanders fans feeling excited about seeing the rookie make his name stand out on the field. A gun was recovered, but the police are still looking for two suspects who ran from the scene. The Police Department tweeted, “Be on the lookout for two black juvenile males with shoulder length dreads, medium complexion, wearing a black or brown shirt with yellow smiley faces on it.” Brian Robinson hit the injury list. As a result, Brian is forced to miss the first four games of the season while he recovers from the incident. He will be able to suit up for a game in Week 5. The Commanders are going to play the Tennessee Titans at home on Oct. 9 in Week 5, so if Brian makes shocking, amazing progress, there’s a high chance he will be ready to be in the game. If he’s not ready, his next chance to play would be in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears on a Thursday night game on Oct. 13, or in Week 7 on Oct. 23 when the Commanders host the Green Bay Packers.
