Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. will be sidelined for the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday due to a hamstring injury.
Robinson was officially ruled out on Friday, marking the second consecutive game he will miss, as he was also inactive last week during the matchup with the New York Giants.
The 25-year-old running back’s injury woes continue, as he previously missed a game on October 13 against the Baltimore Ravens due to a knee issue, which was the only loss for the Commanders since the start of the season.
Throughout his seven games this season, Robinson has accumulated 461 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 101 carries.

In Robinson’s absence, the team’s workload will likely be shared among Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols, and Chris Rodriguez Jr.
Defensively, the Commanders, who hold a 7-2 record, will also play without cornerback Marshon Lattimore, who was acquired from the New Orleans Saints just before the NFL trade deadline.
Lattimore is still recovering from a hamstring issue that he sustained during a recent game with the Saints.
He expressed uncertainty about when he would be able to join the team on the field, stating, “That’s up to the trainers. The injury just happened, so I don’t really know what’s going on as far as a timetable or getting back on the field.”

For the Steelers, linebacker Nick Herbig is out due to a hamstring issue, along with safety Terrell Edmunds, who is sidelined with an illness.
Special teams players Tyler Matakevich and Ben Skowronek are also questionable for the game due to their respective injuries.
Rookie center Zach Frazier will miss two games due to an ankle injury, while kick returner and running back Cordarrelle Patterson is expected to make his return after being absent since the loss to the Indianapolis Colts on September 29.

Additionally, Steelers quarterback Justin Fields is healthy enough to back up Russell Wilson for the team, which stands at 6-2.
Meanwhile, Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has been cleared from the injury report after dealing with sore ribs in recent games.
