Rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr., who was shot twice Aug. 28, is set to make his NFL debut Sunday against Tennessee.
On Monday, when Washington designated Robinson to return to practice, Rivera said he thought Robinson’s approach could complement running backs Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. Gibson has been the primary back over the past two seasons, and McKissic has received most of his snaps on third down.“[We’ve] got a good group of backs that rotate through, and you try to find the matchups that you can exploit,” Rivera said.
After practice, in a news conference, he remembered lying in a hospital bed just five weeks earlier and called it “one of the lowest points of my life.”
