Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. is stable and underwent success surgery after he was shot multiple times during a possible attempted carjacking or robbery on Sunday, police confirmed, via The Washington Post.<\/p>\n

Commanders head coach Ron Rivera told reporters on Monday morning that Robinson is “in a really good place,” per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. And Robinson shared a photo on his Instagram from what appears to be a hospital room, writing “Surgery went well! Thanks for all the prayers! God is Great!”<\/p>\n

Robinson was shot twice just before 6 pm in Washington, DC, and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. According to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero<\/a>, Robinson was shot in his lower body. Rapoport reported on Monday it was the glute and lower leg and he could be released from the hospital on Monday.<\/p>\n

Police are searching for two juvenile suspects. Specific details regarding the alleged carjacking are not yet known.<\/p>\n

“We have been made aware that Brian Robinson Jr. was the victim of an attempted armed robbery or carjacking in Washington, DC,” the team said in a statement<\/a>. “He sustained non-life-threatening injuries and is currently being treated at the hospital, where team officials are on-site with him. We ask that you please respect Brian’s privacy at this time.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The former Alabama standout was selected by Washington in the third round of the draft in April. He racked up a career-high 1,343 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns last season with the Crimson Tide while helping them reach the national title game.<\/p>\n

Robinson did not play in Washington’s final preseason game against the Ravens on Saturday. He had 14 carries for 57 yards and one touchdown over their first two preseason games. The 23-year-old was expected to play a significant role in the Commanders’ run game this season alongside Antonio Gibson and JD McKissic.<\/p>\n

Rivera said he had visited Robinson in the hospital on Sunday night, too.<\/p>\n

A team spokesman told ESPN Commanders team co-owners Dan and Tanya Snyder, vice president Jason Wright, team physician Dr. Anthony Casolaro and clinical psychologist Dr. Barbara Roberts were also at the hospital with Robinson on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
