RB Brian Robinson Jr. - WAS (1 Viewer)

2 dudes tried to rob this man, shot him, but still couldn't. Word is Robinson wrestled a gun away from one of these punks. Then they ran away.


Give this man some respect, am I right? He'll be back on the field in 2 weeks, gods be good.

I was going to say, thoughts and prayers aside he could be on the field 30 days from now like nothing happened. Would not be surprised to see him land on PUP, if he doesn't then we're clear for a return earlier than Week 4. Stuff like this can sometimes motivate these super athletes.
 
Got the old Forrest Gump million dollar glute shot.

He probably should have just let them take the car. I’m not judging him harshly for being a badass about it. Just would be better off healthy minus a car.

PUP is for only players who have yet to practice or play in preseason. He can't be on the PUP.
He can be placed on IR which is 4 weeks which is the same length as the PUP anyway.

Noted! Thank you.
 
This was posted on CBS and I wanted to key in to the reason i feel Robinson should be put on the PUP or at least handled with a lot of care right now.

"Among those with Robinson and his family at the hospital Sunday night were head coach Ron Rivera, team owners Dan and Tanya Snyder, president Jason Wright, general manager Martin Mayhew, director of mental wellness Barbara Roberts and chief medical officer Anthony Casolaro, per The Washington Post. Rivera released the following statement on Twitter after visiting Robinson."

I cannot stress enough this reason for being cautious and even though he might be physically ready in a couple weeks, I would prefer if I were in charge of Washington, take things slow and that would be my instructions to the rest of my front office, staff and coaches. Robinson is likely worried he will have his job taken from him, worried about his future, worried that his new boss is mad because somehow he was involved in something that wasn't even his fault and that can wear on anyone.

Good to see the FULL SUPPORT of everyone in the Washington organization including Snyder even though he disgusts me most of the time.
 
Anybody hear how many times he was shot & where? I know there was speculation, but I haven't heard definitively.

As somebody who worked in the medical field, I can tell you people make surprisingly quick recoveries from gunshots (say 9mm FMJ) if they're simply flesh wounds.
How fast an NFL RB can come back might be another matter, though, especially in the leg(s).

Not sure if this has been confirmed or not, but it looks like he was shot in his hip and leg.

It was revealed Monday that the 23-year-old was hit in both the leg and hip, according to WTOP News, but a return to football this season has not been ruled out.

Thanks.

The hip might be more of an issue (hopefully, it's more butt than anything else). Hard to say unless we get details & that might not happen.
 
When police arrived on the scene, they located Robinson, who was suffering from "a couple gunshot wounds to his lower extremities," according to Dustin Sternbeck, director of communications for the Metro Police Department in Washington. Robinson was treated by paramedics at the scene and transported immediately to a local hospital. One bullet hit his glute and another struck him in a lower leg.

Sternbeck said police have identified two potential suspects and recovered a firearm a short distance from where the shooting occurred. According to the police report, the incident was described as aggravated assault.

According to the report, Robinson wrestled away a handgun from one assailant but was shot by the other, who also was using a handgun; both suspects are believed to be teenagers, but the investigation is ongoing.
 
So thankful he is ok...If I'm ever in that situation I hope I remember to just get out of car and let them take it...can understand when adrenaline kicks in and you want to fight the situation.

Also very glad he is ok and hope he is able to get back out there as soon as makes sense.

I have a decent car but I mean I'd easily give it up without a second thought... if I'm by myself. Hell I'd love to cash that insurance check. But what would I do if my kids were inside? We have tinted back windows and you often can't tell they're in there. IDK if minivans are a target but we have a fair amount of carjacking here in Portland. Anyway if my kids were there I *think* I'd be like "you can have it no problem here is 20 for gas but let me get my kids out first..." But if that isn't a go, I'm not so sure I don't get myself shot there.
 
Robinson is suiting up ASAP IMHO
ASAP sounds like it could be a little while. The latest headline I saw was “doctors believe Robinson will be able to play this year”.

Dude has stitches, is at risk for infection, we don’t know if any blood vessels were affected, whether any bones or tendons weee involved.

I agree he’ll be out there when he can be, but for now all we know is he survived and it wasn’t career ending.

There’s a wide range of outcomes in between. Could be a minute. I won’t question his competitiveness.

All good thoughts, also nice idea to have the option to return fire if it comes down to it and a life is in serious danger. "Daydreaming" about these kinds of specific scenarios on a regular basis is a really good idea, as crappy as that sounds. The more things you've dreamed up ahead of time, the less time it will take to decide what the frick to do.

I like where you decide how much money you'll give him.

"So I saw another fiver in your wallet while it was open..."

"............... alright gimme that **** gun" *wrestling ensues*
 
Not sure I agree with this. If he's ready to go let him roll.

the last thing a competitor wants to do is watch from the sidelines...Rivera is a former player, Robinson is suiting up ASAP IMHO.
Woah Woah Woah...the man was just victimized and violently attacked where he could have lost his life, I'm not trying to be overly sensitive here but doctors say he can maybe play this season, doesn't sound like Week 1 and I wouldn't be comfortable as a Front Office Senior Exec allowing him out so quickly after something like this.

Let's remember https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=1606709

Joey was out for how long? I don't seem to recall and his injuries in the butt might have been more serious.

Porter came back Sept 21 from an Aug 31st shooting in Denver

It is funnier that way. Usually when I have a gun pointed angrily at me, I try to lighten the mood. "Here take 20 or whatever I've got and get gas and snacks but lemme have my kids..." And of course the obligatory "keep my wife"

Yeah I know... pretty dumb schtick.

I have actually been held up twice at gunpoint and more or less walk around with eyes in the back of my head ever since. But when someone gets the drop on you it really doesn't matter. You could have a loaded pistol in your hand (at your side) with a round in the chamber with your finger on the trigger and it still doesn't matter.

IDK if my kids are in the van maybe I immediately offer up my pin number while saying "but my kids are in there..."
 

Commanders RB Brian Robinson was released from the hospital.​

Robinson was shot twice in the lower body during a robbery attempt on Sunday. He underwent surgery shortly thereafter and all reports have been positive. Washington head coach Ron Rivera said team doctors are optimistic Robinson can suit up at some point in 2022, though the timeline remains vague. In the meantime, Antonio Gibson will operate as the team's early-down back while J.D. McKissic serves as the pass-catching specialist. Robinson should still be drafted in deeper 12-team leagues.

For what it’s worth. And this is second hand news from someone who listened to a local beat Writer podcast from a guy who’s usually pretty close to the team. So I don’t have a link, but can dig up the podcasters name when I have a break at work.

The Podcast is called Locked On Commanders and is hosted by Chris Russell.

The Redskins plan to put him NFI. I think they have till Wednesday to make a decision.

Non-Football Injury (NFI) List​

The NFL has a second injury list that is similar to the PUP list, but is based on different timing of injuries. The Non-Football Injury list has rules that closely adhere to those in the Active/PUP and Reserve/PUP, but it is classified differently.

it sounds like 4 weeks since they said it closely adheres to PUP and IR rules.
 
I'm amazed at the optimism on a quick recovery and playing time here. This isn't a movie where a guy gets shot, someone puts a stick in his mouth and pulls out the bullet, and then cauterizes the wound with a hot knife. Then he's back running around in 30 minutes like nothings wrong. How much muscle and nerve damage can bullets cause? I'd be surprised if he plays this year. RBs tend to rely on their lower extremities, including the buttocks, no?

It's actually a lot better than that since he had medical doctors remove the bullets surgically. I have no idea what his timeline is though.
 

College player shot in the leg and records a sack in a game the next week /shrug
I’ve see all sorts of examples. Paul Pierce was stabbed 11 times in the back and face and neck and had surgery on his lung. He then went on to play all 82 games of that nba season.

It all really depends on where the damage is and how severe.

If you are in redraft you just hold till we know more.

I don’t know if others are in the same boat as me but I can only put a player on IR who is actually on the a NFL IR. If he gets put on this list then I will likely cut bait since I don’t want him clogging up a roster spot for at least four weeks when waiver pick ups start happening after week one games. If he went to IR it would be an easy hold for me.
 
is the caliber of gun and bullet type known ?

if it was a solid bullet and a smaller caliber, way less damage

if it was a 10mm and a self defense round .... the damage would have been much more

since he's released I'm thinking small caliber and solid bullet and not much damage (relatively speaking)

Not me. If it was a minor surgery to remove a bullet (and it did not hit anything major), don't see why he can't be back within 19 weeks. Even a month seems doable. How does it not?

He was released today. To me, that says it wasn't major. Otherwise they would monitor him for infection, etc.

Yeah. It should still allow them to be on IR.

It’s just a different designation because the injury happened outside of football.

It allows teams to not pay a player. No way they do that here in this scenario.
