Report: Falcons add RB Brian Robinson Jr. on 1-year deal

The Atlanta Falcons are signing running back Brian Robinson Jr. to a one-year, $2.5 million contract, NFL Network reported on Tuesday.

Robinson, who turned 27 on Sunday, rushed for 400 yards and two touchdowns on 92 carries in 17 regular-season games as a reserve in his lone season with the San Francisco 49ers in 2025. He also caught eight passes for 25 yards and returned 13 kickoffs for a 29.1-yard average with a long of 46.

He joins two-time Pro Bowl honoree and 2025 first-team All-Pro Bijan Robinson (no relation) and second-year running back Nathan Carter in Atlanta. Former Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier signed earlier this month with the Arizona Cardinals.

The 49ers had acquired Robinson from the Washington Commanders in August 2025 for a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Washington selected Robinson in the third round of the 2022 draft out of Alabama. He has rushed for 2,729 yards and 17 TDs and caught 73 passes for 612 yards and five TDs in 58 regular-season games (37 starts) for Washington (2022-24) and San Francisco.
