Washington running back Brian Robinson Jr. will return after a two-game absence, while the Commanders’ recently acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore will not make his debut when they visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.

Robinson, 25, was a full participant at practice on Wednesday after being limited on Monday and Tuesday because of a hamstring issue that kept him out of a victory over the New York Giants and a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He was off the injury report for the Commanders (7-3) against the NFC East-leading Eagles (7-2).

“I’ve improved tremendously,” Robinson said on Tuesday. “A lot of movements I haven’t been able to make over the last couple weeks I’m starting to build confidence in. The biggest thing with your hamstring is building your confidence back, and I feel I’ve been able to do that.”

Robinson hasn’t played since the Oct. 27 victory over the Chicago Bears. He has started six of the seven games he has played and has 101 carries for 461 yards — a career-high 4.6 yards per attempt — and six touchdowns. He also has nine receptions for 79 yards.

Washington selected Robinson in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Alabama. He has 1,991 career rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, and 54 receptions for 507 yards and five touchdowns in 34 games (30 starts).

Lattimore, 28, was acquired from the New Orleans Saints for three draft picks at the league trade deadline on Nov. 5. The four-time Pro Bowl selection has yet to practice with the Commanders because of a hamstring injury.

He started all seven games he played this season for the Saints and made 30 tackles before missing a loss on Nov. 3 at the Carolina Panthers. He will have missed three consecutive games.

The Commanders also ruled out kicker Austin Seibert (right hip) and linebacker Nick Bellore (knee) after neither practiced this week.
