The Facts: Robinson, who was shot twice in his leg during an attempted robbery, has a realistic chance of returning in Week 5, team sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Diehards Line:Without Robinson for today's season opener, Washington will rely on Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic and Jonathan Williams at the running back position against the Jacksonville Jaguars. But the Commanders are encouraged about Robinson's progress and does not expect him to miss much more time. Robinson is on the Non-Football Injury list, which makes him ineligible to play the first four weeks of the season, but his progress already has been tangible. The third-round draft pick is off crutches, and the Commanders plan to have him pick up his conditioning level this week, outside on grass, a first for Robinson since he was shot. Robinson was shot twice on Aug. 28 in Washington, D.C. in what the police report described as an aggravated assault. He underwent surgery the following day and suffered no structural damage.
