49ers’ Demarcus Robinson Suspended Three Games as Shanahan Confirms, Appeal Pending

The punishment follows his 2024 DUI case resolved in July with a no‑contest plea.

Overview

  • Robinson is slated to miss Weeks 1–3 (at Seahawks, at Saints, vs. Cardinals) and would be eligible to return in Week 4 against the Jaguars.
  • Shanahan said the team is planning for a three-game absence, while NFL Network reporting notes the discipline is still in the appeals process.
  • The case stems from a Nov. 25, 2024 stop on US‑101 in Los Angeles, after which Robinson pleaded no contest in July and received 36 months’ probation, a $390 fine and mandated alcohol education.
  • The suspension deepens San Francisco’s receiver shortage with Brandon Aiyuk targeting a Week 6 return from knee surgery and Jauan Jennings, Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing dealing with injuries.
  • Signed in March on a two-year deal reported up to $9.5 million after a 31‑505‑7 season with the Rams, Robinson can practice and play in the preseason before the regular-season ban begins.
