Report: Commanders RB Brian Robinson “good to go” on Sunday despite knee injury
Commanders running back Brian Robinson was previously believed to be a game-time decision for Sunday’s game against the Browns, with a knee injury. The decision apparently has been made before game time.
Via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Robinson is “good to go” for the Week 5 contest.
Robinson officially was listed as questionable for the game. He has 307 rushing yards in four games this season, and he’s averaging 4.7 yards per carry. He has scored three touchdowns.
The Commanders are also getting running back Austin Ekeler back from a concussion that he suffered in Week 3 against the Bengals.
The 3-1 Commanders have won three in a row. Robinson’s presence will help push them to four. It would be their first four-game winning streak since 2021, when they went from 2-6 to 6-6 before losing four in a row.
Mecole Hardman is questionable, Clyde Edwards-Helaire is doubtful for Monday night’
The Chiefs need their other receivers to step up, in the absence of Rashee Rice. Mecole Hardman seems to be in position, for now, to give it a go on Monday night.
After missing practice on Friday’s practice with a knee injury that had him limited on Thursday, Hardman fully participated on Saturday. He’s questionable for the Week 5 home game against the Saints.
The only other Kansas City player with an injury designation is running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who is doubtful with an illness.
Edwards-Helaire spent the first four games of the season on the non-football injury/illness list. He told reporters in August that he has suffered from PTSD for years.
Hardman, who caught the game-winning touchdown pass in Super Bowl LVIII, has appeared in all four games this year. He has no targets, however, and he has participated in only 14 offensive snaps (six percent) and 32 special-team plays (32 percent).
