49ers WR Demarcus Robinson Suspended Three Games for DUI

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 following a misdemeanor DUI charge from November 2024. Robinson pleaded no contest to the charge and was sentenced to three years of probation, with the NFL imposing the suspension as a typical penalty for a first offense. He will miss games against Seattle, New Orleans, and Arizona and will be eligible for reinstatement on September 22. The suspension adds to the 49ers' depleted wide receiver corps, which is already missing Brandon Aiyuk due to an ACL injury and Jauan Jennings with a calf injury, while other receivers like Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing also face injury setbacks. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the suspension prior to the NFL's announcement, and the 49ers hope to manage the depth challenges with remaining players and recent acquisitions. Robinson, who signed a two-year deal with the 49ers after a productive 2024 season with the Rams, will be sidelined without pay during the suspension period.
