Overview

• Head coach Dan Quinn said he and GM Adam Peters informed Robinson on Sunday that he would not play against the Bengals.
• The decision to sit Robinson was mutual as the team explores a trade in the days leading up to final cuts.
• If no suitable offer emerges, reporting indicates Washington could move on by releasing its primary back of the past three seasons.
• With Robinson in the final year of his rookie deal at roughly $3.4 million, any trade is expected to fetch limited draft capital such as a late pick or a pick swap.
• The emergence of rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt and the presence of Austin Ekeler and Chris Rodriguez Jr. have strengthened Washington’s comfort with reshaping the backfield.
