Washington Commanders rookie Brian Robinson was reportedly released from the hospital on Monday, one day after being shot twice in an attempted robbery or carjacking in Washington D.C. 

The ESPN report states that Robinson will be seen by Commanders doctors on Tuesday to determine where to go from here. The team is optimistic that the third-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft can still play his rookie season. 

While head coach Ron Rivera did not say for certain that Robinson would play for him this year, he said "the doctors were very positive with him" during a press conference on Monday.

"We’re very fortunate. He’s very fortunate. It’s a very unfortunate situation," Rivera said. "But he’s doing well. It will be a matter of time before he’s back out here. There’s no timeline, but as I said, everything was very positive."

Robinson was shot twice in the lower body early Sunday evening in the northeast section of D.C. After paramedics helped him at the scene, he underwent surgery upon arriving at Medstar Washington Hospital Center, and posted a photo to his Instagram story saying "Surgery went well! Thanks for the prayers! God is great!"
