49ers coach Shanahan confirms WR suspension

The San Francisco 49ers will be down another wide receiver to start the 2025 NFL season.

Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed to KNBR today free agent signee Demarcus Robinson will be suspended for the first three games of the regular season. This suspension stems from an arrest last November in which Robinson was charged with misdemeanor DUI. California Highway Patrol officers observed him driving more than 100 mph in southern California.

‘[Robinson] we’re not going to have for the first three weeks,’ Shanahan said. ‘You can always appeal it so we’ll hope for the best on that, but that is what we’re planning for.’

San Francisco signed Robinson to a two-year deal worth up to $9.5 million with $6 million guaranteed in one of their few free agent additions on offense.

Shanahan’s confirmation came as he described the depth problems the team’s had at the position during training camp.

Robinson’s one of the only wide receivers on the team not to have missed time with injury in either minicamp or training camp. The 49ers’ first-round pick from 2024, Ricky Pearsall, missed time early on with a hamstring injury but is back on the field for training camp. Jauan Jennings has dealt with a calf injury during training camp and Jacob Cowing and rookie Jordan Watkins are currently out with injuries as well.

The 49ers re-signed wide receiver Malik Knowles this morning before Shanahan confirmed Robinson’s suspension. Knowles spent the 2024 season with the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco signed him initially in June before waiving him.

Shanahan expects former second-team All-Pro Brandon Aiyuk to be out until Week 6 of the regular season. The other injured players should be back sooner than that.

Robinson will miss the 49ers’ first three regular season games:

  • Week 1:at Seattle Seahawks
  • Week 2:at New Orleans Saints
  • Week 3:vs. Arizona Cardinals

Should the suspension hold, Robinson would be back for the 49ers’ home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4.
