Overview

  • He will miss Weeks 1–3 against the Seahawks, Saints and Cardinals, with eligibility to return on Monday, September 22.
  • An appeal of the discipline did not change the three-game length of the suspension.
  • During the ban he cannot practice or play, and the 49ers are not required to use a 53-man roster spot on him until after the third game.
  • The absence compounds a thin receiving corps after the Deebo Samuel trade, Brandon Aiyuk’s knee setback, and camp injuries to Jauan Jennings, Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing.
  • Robinson signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract in March after logging 31 receptions for 505 yards and seven touchdowns with the Rams last season.
