Overview

• Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on KNBR that Robinson received a three-game ban under the NFL’s substance abuse policy, with the ruling under appeal per NFL Network.
• If upheld, he will miss road games at the Seahawks and Saints and the home opener against the Cardinals, returning in Week 4 versus the Jaguars.
• The case stems from a Nov. 25, 2024 traffic stop on US‑101 in Los Angeles for alleged speeding over 100 mph, after which Robinson pleaded no contest and received three years’ probation, a $390 fine and mandated programs.
• The absence compounds depth issues at wide receiver for San Francisco, with Brandon Aiyuk targeting at least Week 6 and Jauan Jennings, Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing dealing with injuries.
• Three games aligns with recent first‑offense DUI precedent in the NFL, exemplified by Vikings receiver Jordan Addison’s suspension earlier this month.
