Commanders' Brian Robinson: Ruled out for Week 10
Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.Robinson ended up inactive as a game-time decision last week and now will miss a second straight game. Austin Ekeler filled in as the starting RB in a 27-22 win over the Giants on Sunday, but Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols got most of the work late in the game while nursing a lead, with Ekeler ultimately taking just four touches after halftime. A tighter game could work more in Ekeler's favor, and he's at least a good bet to dominate backfield snaps on passing downs. Robinson's next chance to play will be Thursday against the Eagles, four days after the matchup with Pittsburgh.

Commanders' Brian Robinson: Limited in practice
Robinson (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.A limited participant all last week, Robinson was listed as questionable on the final injury report and ended up inactive for a 28-23 win over the Giants on Sunday. His absence freed up a larger role for Austin Ekeler, but the Washington Commanders also gave Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez some work, especially late in the game while trying to run out the clock with a lead. Robinson will look to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to clear up any concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Commanders' Brian Robinson: Slated to practice Wednesday
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that Robinson (hamstring) will practice Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.The extent of Robinson's participation won't be known until Washington releases its first Week 10 injury report later Wednesday, but Quinn said that the staff is "really going to push it" with the running back in advance of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Despite being listed as questionable coming out of the Commanders' final Week 9 practice last Friday, Robinson had been expected to play against the Giants, but he was a surprise inactive ahead of the team's eventual 27-22 win. Assuming Robinson navigates the upcoming week of practice without any setbacks with his hamstring, he should be ready to step back in as the Commanders' lead runner, while Austin Ekeler returns to a change-of-pace role.
