Six weeks after being shot twice, running back Brian Robinson Jr. will be in uniform on Sunday for the Washington Commanders’ game against the Tennessee Titans.

Washington removed Robinson from reserve/non-football injury on Saturday and restored the rookie from Alabama to its active roster, making him eligible to play on Sunday.

Robinson returned to full practice on Wednesday, and after what Commanders coach Ron Rivera termed “a good week” on Friday, is poised to make his NFL debut on Sunday.

On Aug. 29, Robinson was shot in the hip and knee when he was accosted by two armed teens seeking to steal his Dodge Challenger Hellcat in Washington, according to District of Columbia police, who reported Robinson wrested a gun away from one of the boys before being shot by the other.

Law-enforcement authorities think the assailants were from 15 through 17 years old, but no arrests have been made.

After being shot, Robinson was taken to a hospital, where he had surgery before being released the next day.

Washington ranks 21st in the NFL with 402 rushing yards this season. A 1,000-yard rusher last season, Antonio Gibson has 173 yards and two touchdowns on 53 rushing attempts to lead the Commanders four games into the 2022 schedule. Former Central-Phenix City star J.D. McKissic is second with 65 yards on 17 carries and ranks second on the team with 19 receptions.

“It’s hopefully going to be a nice shot in the arm,” Rivera said on Monday about Robinson’s pending return. “Hopefully, we get what we were expecting to get, and that was the other quality running back that we’re looking for.”

A prep standout at Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa, Robinson joined the Commanders in the third round of the NFL Draft on April 29 after running for 1,343 yards and 14 touchdowns and catching 35 passes for 296 yards for Alabama during the 2021 season.

The Commanders and Titans square off at noon Sunday at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.

Robinson’s return makes a former Alabama running back available for each team on Sunday, with two-time NFL rushing champ Derrick Henry the Titans’ top ball-carrier.

Although they didn’t play together at Alabama, the former Crimson Tide running backs are friends.

“I talked to him when he was at Bama and developed a relationship with him,” Henry said, “and whenever he was there playing throughout the season and when he got drafted and getting back to being able to play football now, so we talk all the time. …

“I’m just glad he’s able to play football and do something he loves.”
