Just 46 days after being shot, Brian Robinson Jr. scored his first NFL touchdown as he helped the Washington Commanders beat the Chicago Bears 12-7
The rookie running back ran in a one-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to score what was to be the decisive score as the Commanders snapped a four-game losing streak. In August, Robinson Jr. suffered two gunshot wounds to his lower extremities and was taken to a local hospital in what police said at the time may have been an attempted robbery or carjacking. After a remarkable comeback story, the 23-year-old made his debut in the Commanders’ 21-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans last week.
“And I’m so thankful for this training staff and to everybody for just helping me, pushing me everyday, giving me the extra motivation on the days I didn’t have it, just keeping me grounded to get out here with my team. He added: “I want to tell my mom thank you, I love you. Without you I wouldn’t be here today.” The 98th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft was back in the Commanders facility just two days after the shooting, as he began his recovery in earnest.
