Robinson, 23, was shot twice in the right leg Aug. 28 near a lively strip of clubs, bars and restaurants along H Street in Northeast Washington.
The highly touted third-round draft pick underwent surgery and sat out the first month of the NFL season. Robinson first took the field Oct. 9 during the season's fifth week and has since claimed the team's starting running back role.
"I'm just so blessed to be back out there with all the fans, the team, just everybody involved," he said.
Police continue to look for a third suspect who they say was the getaway driver.
It did not appear that the assailants knew Robinson's identity when they attacked, Contee said.
