The Commanders RB was drafted in the third round of this past year’s draft by Washington after having a standout college career at Bama. He was also slated to possibly be the starting runningback this year, but now, it’s all up in the air.
The Commanders have issued a few statements and coach Ron Rivera said today, “It’ll just be a matter of time before he’s back out here. There is no timeline, but as I said, everything was very positive.”

He was just drafted earlier this year and is currently in his rookie year, playing a pre-season game yesterday actually.
Sheesh. Life can change in an instant. There’s currently no arrests but cops say they have two suspects. We’re glad Brian’s doing OK. Stay safe out there y’all!
