Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. will not play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers because of a hamstring injury.
This is the second consecutive game the team’s leading rusher will miss after he was a late scratch last week at the New York Giants.
The 25-year-old was also out Oct. 13 at Baltimore with a knee injury, the Commanders’ only loss since the season opener. Robinson has rushed for 461 yards and six touchdowns on 101 carries in seven games.
Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. figure to split the responsibilities in Robinson’s absence.
BILLS WR COLEMAN OUT >> Bills coach Sean McDermott said rookie receiver Keon Coleman could miss multiple weeks with a wrist injury, ruling out the player for Buffalo’s game at the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Coleman appeared to be hurt Sunday when he was blindsided by Dolphins safety Jordan Poyer while attempting to make a catch on Buffalo’s eventual game-winning final drive in a 30-27 victory over Miami. Poyer was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play.
The rookie second-round pick out of Florida State ranks second on the team with 417 receiving yards, and is tied for the team lead with three touchdowns receiving.
The AFC East-leading Bills (7-2) could also be minus receiver Amari Cooper for a second consecutive game. Cooper is listed as questionable and was still wearing a brace on his left wrist while practicing on a limited basis this week. Cooper has been limited to five catches for 69 yards and a touchdown in two games since being acquired in a trade with Cleveland last month.
LEVIS SET TO RETURN >> Will Levis will start for the Titans on Sunday when they visit the Chargers after the second-year quarterback missed the last three games with an injured shoulder.
Levis sprained the AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder against Miami on Sept. 30 diving for a first down. Tennessee had its bye, and then Levis played Oct. 13 in a loss to Indianapolis.
The Titans pulled Levis and played backup Mason Rudolph, who went 1-2 starting the past three games for Tennessee (2-6).
