Rumors suggest the Commanders are shopping Brian Robinson Jr., and a potential trade to the Saints could make him the perfect early-down complement to Alvin Kamara in New Orleans.

Coach Dan Quinn said he spoke to Robinson on Sunday afternoon, and there are “a lot of moving parts.” “News like that’s always not easy,” Quinn said regarding his conversation with Robinson.

Brian Robinson Jr. is on the outs after agreeing to sit out the team's second preseason game against the Bengals. In his place, the Commanders started Chris Rodriguez but turned to seventh-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt for their second drive.

Hendrickson’s relationship with the Bengals has been rocky for months. The team gave him permission to seek a trade in March, but no trade partner emerged. He also skipped the first week of training camp while he and the franchise negotiated an extension. He did report to camp on July 30 but has not participated in practice.

What Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury had to say about his running back Brian Robinson amid preseason.

The Commanders just like any other team have some contract decisions to make. They could very well decide to cut a fan favorite.

Outlook: Robinson and Austin Ekeler comprise one of the league’s least-satisfying running back duos, especially for an ascendant team like Washington. There could be a new face or two added between now and Week 1,
