Washington Redskins inside linebacker Keenan Robinson returned to practice Wednesday after missing Week 10 with neck and shoulder injuries.

Robinson has struggled throughout the 2015 season, and reserve linebacker Will Compton played very well in his place last week.

Earlier this week, head coach Jay Gruden admitted he will be faced with a difficult decision when all of his top three inside linebackers are healthy, per the Washington Post. Gruden added that Compton deserves a starting spot, but players rarely lose their starting jobs due to injury.

A three-man rotation at inside linebacker seems like the likely scenario to play out. However, if Robinson continues to struggle, his leash on the starting role just got a lot smaller after Compton's impressive performance in Week 10.
