Overview

  • Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Aug. 11 that Robinson is appealing a league-imposed suspension stemming from his November DUI arrest.
  • Under NFL policy and recent precedent, Robinson faces a likely multi-game suspension without pay if the appeal is denied.
  • Robinson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI in January and is completing 36 months of probation plus alcohol-education requirements.
  • The veteran signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract in March and has displayed strong chemistry with quarterback Brock Purdy during training camp.
  • San Francisco’s receiver room is already strained by Brandon Aiyuk’s ACL/MCL rehabilitation, Jordan Watkins’s high-ankle sprain and Jauan Jennings’s calf injury.
