The Washington Commanders (4-2) clearly missed lead running back Brian Robinson during the 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens (4-2) in Week 6. Not only did the Commanders run the ball a season-low 18 times, but Robinson's toughness and tone-setting running style really invigorates the offense when he's on the field.

Fortunately for Jayden Daniels and the Commanders offense, it's looking like that will be the only game Robinson misses so far this season.  Commanders head coach Dan Quinn told reporters ahead of Wednesday's practice that Robinson will be a participant in the week's first session ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.  

"Brian will be out there today, which we're really pumped about to see him doing well," said Quinn. "And it was hard not having him, but in the sake of what's best for him first and then for the team, it was the right call."

Robinson continues to lead the team in carries (73), rushing yards (325), and rushing touchdowns (5) despite missing Week 6. He also has eight receptions for 68-yards. Right now, he's on track to play, which will only lead to good things for the Commanders offense as they look to get back on the winning track against a downtrodden Panthers team.
