49ers WR Demarcus Robinson Suspended 3 Games for DUI Violation

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has been suspended for the first three games of the 2025 NFL season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, stemming from a misdemeanor DUI charge to which he pleaded no contest. Robinson was arrested in November 2024 while with the Los Angeles Rams for speeding over 100 mph and suspected DUI, but was not suspended by the Rams at the time. The 49ers were aware of the potential suspension when they signed Robinson to a two-year, $8 million deal in free agency. This suspension adds to a depleted 49ers receiving corps already affected by Brandon Aiyuk's ACL injury, Jauan Jennings' calf injury, and rookie Jordan Watkins' high-ankle sprain, significantly impacting the team's depth at wide receiver. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the suspension and noted Robinson is appealing, but the team is preparing for him to miss the opening games against Seattle, New Orleans, and Arizona. The situation intensifies pressure on other receivers like Ricky Pearsall as San Francisco navigates these multiple setbacks early in the 2025 season.
