Overview
- Multiple outlets reported the Aug. 22 agreement, with AP noting the trade will be finalized once Robinson passes a physical.
- San Francisco sought help after Patrick Taylor, Corey Kiner and Ameer Abdullah went on injured reserve, Jordan James fractured a finger and Isaac Guerendo only just returned from a shoulder injury.
- Robinson led Washington in rushing last season with 799 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns, totaling 2,329 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns over three seasons.
- Washington plans to lean on Austin Ekeler, Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Chris Rodriguez Jr., and Dan Quinn had recently held Robinson out of practices and preseason action.
- The deal follows the 49ers' trade for wide receiver Skyy Moore this week as they add veteran depth before the season.
