The Washington Commanders have traded running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday. 

The move comes just one day before the Commanders’ last preseason matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. 

“Appreciate all your great work in D.C., B. Rob,” social media user Alex Price wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Good luck with the Niners.”

Robinson’s departure adds to a reshaping of the Commanders’ crowded backfield, which featured seven running backs ahead of the final roster cuts.

“Insane roster,” another social media user wrote.
