Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) has dealt with more than his fair share of injuries this season. He missed a game with a knee injury before missing two games with a hamstring injury. Now, he could be in jeopardy of missing more time.
The situation around Robinson's injury doesn't help much either. It wasn't ideal, and it calls into question the Commanders' handling of their players' injuries in general.
So will Robinson play again in Week 13? If not, when is he coming back?

Brian Robinson Jr. Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Robinson suffered an ankle injury in his Week 12 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Strangely, he was cleared by the team's medical staff to return to the game, only to injure the same ankle again. He was then pulled from the game and didn't return. It was a strange sequence of events.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson on @JunksRadio just now on @1067thefan:
“I’m dealing with an ankle sprain right now to some ligaments that was rolled up.”
Said it’s not a high ankle sprain and nothing going on with the bone. Has been surprised how much it’s progressed since SUN.

However, Robinson himself provided optimism about the situation. It seems like he suffered a low-ankle sprain or a simple twist. He could miss one game, but it's unlikely he'll be out for an extended time, which is great news. Fantasy managers should expect him to have a great chance of playing on Sunday.
Brian Robinson Jr. Fantasy Football Outlook
He's a great RB2/RB3 play in standard/PPR leagues this season. He consistently scores double-digit PPR fantasy points, and has a nice role in a good offense. Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has always called a good running game. BRob isn't a workhorse back, but those are hard to find in fantasy football these days anyway.
Brian Robinson Jr. all the way to the 1-yard line!

It's possible he's been held back by injury issues, but he's still someone you should have in your fantasy lineups come game time.
