ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders are trading running back Brian Robinson to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 sixth-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Robinson did not play in Washington's preseason game Monday vs. Cincinnati, signaling the end of his relationship with the franchise. The Commanders had planned to release him if they could not find a trade partner. Washington had been shopping Robinson since earlier this month, in part because of the depth coaches say the team has at running back.

I don't want to look back years later and say, 'I wish I was, I could have been this if I would have worked a little harder,' Rodriguez said Wednesday.

Running back Brian Robinson Jr. will add his name to the growing list of departures after things turned sour quickly. This is all part of Adam Peters' intent to rid the franchise of bad moves and replace them with players who can make a lasting contribution moving forward. That might sting, but it's had instant results. The fact that so many of Rivera's draft choices are failing to catch on elsewhere is a damning indictment of his personnel evaluation.

Lane dropped deep on kickoffs along with Noah Igbinoghene later, while Allen handled a couple of punts. In total, he returned four kickoffs and punts and caught a few fair catches. The other return hopefuls each got one opportunity. Nothing definitive happened in the return game. No big plays. No fumbles. There was no seismic shift that fans were hoping for.

George Fant has signed with the Washington Commanders on a one-year deal after a successful workout. His experience in the league offers depth to an offensive line facing injury concerns.

St-Juste's influence waned as the 2025 campaign went on, and there was a clear lack of trust in his capabilities from the coaching staff to all but seal his fate.

Brandon Scherff's arms were too short - 5/8ths of an inch short of the magical 34 inches that NFL teams want in an offensive tackle.

Comparing Ben Sinnott to Kittle and Juszczyk highlights the peril of assuming success will simply replicate elsewhere, yet Peters hoped to find similar talent with players like Sinnott and Yankoff.

Lucas Niang was swiftly signed by the Washington Commanders but suffered a torn ACL in his first preseason game, likely ruling him out for the 2025 season.
