Washington's Brian Robinson (knee) ruled out in Week 18
What it means:
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson (knee) will not play in Week 18's game agains the Dallas Cowboys.
Robinson will not be active for Washington's season finale after he was unable to practice with a knee injury. Expect Jonathan Williams to see a lead role in the Commanders' backfield versus a Dallas Cowboys' defense allowing 16.4 FanDuel points per game to running backs.
Williams' Week 18 FanDuel salary stands at $5,000.

Robinson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
What it means:
Antonio Gibson (knee) missed Week 17 and was then placed on injured reserve Thursday, leaving the Commanders with Jonathan Williams and Jaret Patterson as their healthy running backs for the season finale. Williams has been the third-stringer since late November, but that might be more about special teams and doesn't ensure he'll get more touches than Patterson on Sunday. Robinson, a third-round pick, wraps up his rookie year as the team's leading rusher with 205 carries for 797 yards, though he caught only nine passes in 12 games and found the end zone just three times (including once on a reception). While the Commanders could upgrade this offseason, it won't necessarily be one of their priorities with the RB room in decent hands between Robinson and Gibson.

Brian Robinson (knee) remains out at Washington practice
What it means:
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson (knee) did not practice again on Thursday.
Robinson is now uncertain for Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys after back-to-back missed practices. The Commanders placed running back Antonio Gibson (knee/foot) on injured reserve Thursday and signed Jaret Patterson from the practice squad to take his place. Patterson and Jonathan Williams will likely split backfield duties on Sunday if Robinson is ruled out.
numberFire's models project Robinson for 16.6 carries and 71.2 yards on Sunday and he has a $6,400 salary on FanDuel in Week 18. The Cowboys have the No. 9 run defense and No. 3 overall defense in our adjusted season-long rankings.

Robinson (knee) wasn't present for Thursday's practice session, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
What it means:
Robinson has now sat out both of the Commanders' first two Week 18 practices, putting his availability in question for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Even if Robinson demonstrates enough progress in his recovery from the knee injury to suit up this weekend, he could be in store for a limited role than usual, given that the Commanders have been eliminated from playoff contention and may be reluctant to expose the running back to further injury heading into the offseason. With Washington moving Antonio Gibson (knee/foot) to injured reserve earlier Thursday, the team would be left with Jonathan Williams, Jaret Patterson and practice-squad member Reggie Bonnafon as its available backs if Robinson is sidelined Sunday.
rotoWire
Robinson (knee) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday.
What it means:
Neither Robinson nor Antonio Gibson (knee/foot) logged any on-field work to begin Week 18 prep, so the Commanders backfield currently is without its top two options. Gibson sat out Week 17 due to his pair of injuries, while Robinson's health concern is a new one, so the entire situation will be one to watch to get a sense of who may be available Sunday versus the Cowboys. Currently, Jonathan Williams is the only healthy running back on Washington's active roster, and Jaret Patterson is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad.

Commanders' Brian Robinson (knee) DNP on Wednesday
What it means:
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 18's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Robinson was added to the injury report with a knee injury and did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Antonio Gibson (knee, foot) also missed practice. Thursday's practice report will provide more information. The Commanders are expected to start rookie Sam Howell at quarterback on Sunday.
The Commanders are 5.5-point underdogs against Dallas in Week 18. Their implied team total of 18.0 points is the sixth-lowest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
