Overview

  • FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz reported that Washington has reached out to teams league-wide about Robinson’s availability.
  • Robinson is entering the final year of his rookie contract, creating pressure on the Commanders to convert his services into assets before he can test free agency.
  • The Commanders have retained veteran backs Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr., giving them confidence to explore a trade.
  • Seventh-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt logged seven carries for 24 yards and caught an eight-yard pass in his preseason debut, bolstering his stock in the backfield.
  • Media have identified the Cowboys, Chiefs, Chargers, Texans, 49ers, Jaguars and Bears as possible destinations, but Washington says it will only pull the trigger on the right offer.
