SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) \u2014 The San Francisco 49ers added a proven running back to their injury-depleted group<\/a> by acquiring Brian Robinson from the Washington Commanders for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick.<\/p>\n

Two people familiar with the deal said the trade will be finalized once Robinson passes a physical. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade hadn\u2019t been announced.<\/p>\n

ESPN first reported the deal.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second trade this week for the 49ers, who also agreed to a deal to acquire receiver Skyy Moore from the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> on Wednesday, the same day coach Kyle Shanahan announced receiver Demarcus Robinson is facing a three-game suspension.<\/p>\n

San Francisco was in need of adding healthy running backs behind starter Christian McCaffrey<\/a> after Patrick Taylor, Corey Kiner and Ameer Abdullah all got placed on injured reserve this month.<\/p>\n

Fifth-round rookie Jordan James is also out with a broken finger, and second-year back Isaac Guerendo just returned to practice this week after missing time with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

Robinson was one of a few players left who were drafted by Washington\u2019s previous regime led by Ron Rivera. A third-round pick in 2022, he was the Commanders\u2019 leading rusher among running backs last season with 799 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns. He has 2,329 yards rushing and 15 TDs the last three seasons.<\/p>\n

General manager Adam Peters, who came from San Francisco, drafted Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the seventh round this year, and the rookie known as \u201cBill\u201d was expected to share carries with Austin Ekeler and Chris Rodriguez Jr. after Robinson appeared to fall out of favor with the coaching staff.<\/p>\n

Robinson didn\u2019t play in Washington\u2019s preseason game on Monday night and was excused from practice earlier this week. Coach Dan Quinn said an organizational decision had been made to hold Robinson out of practices and games and to keep players informed of the situation so they did not hear about it elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Robinson\u2019s time with the organization is perhaps best known for being shot twice in the right leg<\/a> as part of a carjacking attempt in the summer of 2022 before making his NFL debut. He missed the first month but returned to rush for nearly 800 yards and five TDs in 12 games, and a year after said he felt night and day from the aftermath of the shooting.<\/p>\n

McCaffrey typically handles most of the load for the 49ers when healthy. He led the NFL with 339 scrimmage touches and 2,023 yards when he won AP Offensive Player of the Year in 2023. McCaffrey played at least 75% of the offensive snaps 15 times that season, including the playoffs.<\/p>\n

But the 29-year-old McCaffrey played only four games last season because of injuries to both Achilles and his knee. He also missed significant time due to injuries in 2020 and 2021 with Carolina.<\/p>\n
