49ers wideout Demarcus Robinson suspended for three games

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has been suspended for the first three games of the upcoming NFL season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

The suspension is not yet official as Robinson and the 49ers work through the appeal process, according to NFL Network.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the news on a San Francisco Bay Area radio show on Wednesday.

“You can always appeal it, so we’ll hope for the best on that, but (three weeks) is what we’re planning for,” Shanahan said.

In July 2025, the 30-year-old Robinson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge he received in November 2024 as a member of the Los Angeles Rams.

Robinson was sentenced to three years’ probation and ordered to pay a $390 fine following the incident.

The standard suspension in the NFL for a first-time DUI offense is three games.

Robinson’s absence would be another blow to a San Francisco 49ers’ receiver room that could already be without Brandon Aiyuk (recovering from a torn ACL) and Jauan Jennings (calf injury) to start the year.

Robinson had 31 receptions for 505 yards and seven touchdowns for the Rams last season. He has also played for the Kansas City Chiefs (2017-21) and Baltimore Ravens (2022) in his eight-year career.

As their wide receiver room continues to get damaged by injuries, the San Francisco 49ers have acquired WR Skyy Moore in a deal with the Chiefs.

Moore didn’t live up to expectations as Kansas City’s second-round pick (54th) overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.

In his rookie season, the 5’10 wide receiver had 250 yards on 22 receptions. Tallying 21 receptions the following season seems encouraging; it came on 38 targets. Drops have been a point of concern for Moore, taking him out of the Chiefs’ regular Sunday players.

But, with injuries to Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, and Jordan Watkins — along with DeMar Robinson’s suspension — it’s a cheap potential depth piece. San Francisco also acquired a 7th rounder with Moore, while parting with a 6th round pick.

One preseason game remains for the 49ers, which may be one of the limited chances Skyy Moore could get some action.
