why is demarcus robinson suspended

Demarcus Robinson is suspended for the first three games of the 2025 NFL season because he violated the league's substance abuse policy. This suspension is a result of his no contest plea to a misdemeanor DUI charge from an incident in November 2024, when he was arrested for driving over 100 mph and showing signs of intoxication. The NFL imposed the three-game ban following the legal outcome of that case, which included probation and a fine. Robinson and the 49ers have the option to appeal the suspension, but for now, he is set to miss the games against the Seahawks, Saints, and Cardinals at the start of the season.
