Jeff Driskel

Commanders declared RB Brian Robinson Jr., QB Jeff Driskel, S Darrick Forrest, TE Colson Yankoff, LB Dominique Hampton, and OT Cornelius Lucas inactive for Week 9 against the Giants.

Minutes before the team’s official inactives dropped it was announced that Robinson would be inactive due to his hamstring injury. His absence will pave the way for Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols to have busier afternoons than expected, with Ekeler the likely favorite to lead the backfield in touches.
