The Washington Commanders have traded running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the San Francisco 49ers.
This comes as something of a mixed blessing for the New York Giants, who have been absolutely gashed by Robinson since he became Washington’s starting running back. Most notably, he ran for 133 yards on 17 carries (7.3 yards per attempt) against the Giants in Week 2 last year. While he didn’t score a touchdown, that’s cold comfort considering Washington still won the game.
Robinson passed 100 total yards in three of his five games against the Giants and eclipsed 7.0 yards per carry twice since 2022.
On that front, it’s a welcome sight to see him moved out of the division. However, the Giants haven’t seen the last of him, as they’ll play the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9 this year.
