Alabama football fans are in prayer for Brian Robinson Jr.
According to beat reporters for the Washington Commanders, Robinson was a victim of a shooting that involved an attempted robbery. He was shot multiple times, but Robinson did not sustain any life-threatening injuries. Several current and former Crimson Tide players expressed their concerns on Twitter. Ron Rivera, head coach of the Commanders, released a statement on Robinson’s progress. He gave an encouraging update on the rookie as Robinson turned in a great training camp performance.
I just got done visiting w/Brian. He is in good spirits and wanted me to thank everyone for their kind words, prayers & support. He wants his teammates to know he appreciates them all for reaching out and he loves them all & will be back soon doing what he does best.

The Tuscaloosa native was pushing Antonio Gibson for the starting job before the incident.
Hopefully, Robinson recovers strongly and returns to action soon.
