The Falcons are adding another B-Rob.

Atlanta is expected to sign running back Brian Robinson Jr., sources told CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz.

He'll ink a one-year deal worth $2.5 million, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Robinson, who spent the 2025 season with the San Francisco 49ers, could serve as the No. 2 option in the Falcons' backfield after All-Pro running back Bijan Robinson. Brian Robinson rushed for 400 yards (4.2 per carry) and two touchdowns last year.

The Falcons will be his third team in as many seasons. The 27-year-old spent three seasons with the Washington Commanders (2022-24) before being traded to San Francisco.

He stood out in Washington, topping 1,100 scrimmage yards in 2023 and posting at least 700 yards on the ground in every season he played for the Commanders.

The Falcons needed running back depth after Tyler Allgeier signed a two-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals this offseason.
