6 weeks after being shot in an attempted robbery, Brian Robinson Jr. set to return for Washington Commanders

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. appears likely to make his NFL regular season debut Sunday, just six weeks after being shot twice in the leg during a robbery attempt in Washington, D.C.

The Commanders announced Saturday that the 23-year-old Robinson had been activated from the non-football injury list, meaning he will be eligible to play Sunday when the 1-3 Commanders host the Tennessee Titans. Sources told CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones that Robinson is expected to play.

Robinson practiced with the team Thursday, his first practice since the shooting.
