49ers WR Demarcus Robinson suspended three games

The NFL has suspended wide receiver Demarcus Robinson three games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, coach Kyle Shanahan said on KNBR.
It is a suspension the 49ers anticipated when they signed Robinson in the offseason.
Robinson was playing for the Rams when police pulled him over Nov. 25 for driving his car at a speed in excess of 100 mph. He refused a field sobriety test.
In July, Robinson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge. A judge sentenced Robinson to 36 months of probation and imposed a $390 fine. Robinson also was given penalty assessment and was ordered to complete a series of programs, including a three-month alcohol program and a hospital and morgue program.
Robinson had two other charges — driving with a 0.08 percent blood alcohol content or higher and driving without a valid license — dismissed.
The 49ers open the season against Seattle, New Orleans and Arizona, games Robinson will miss before he can return for a Week 4 game against Jacksonville.

Eagles WR Johnny Wilson will miss the season with an injury suffered in practice on Tuesday, and requiring combined knee and ankle surgery.
Lots of WRs going down in preseason.

Patriots WR Ja'Lynn Polk after seeking multiple orthopedic opinions will miss the entire 2025 season due to a shoulder injury that requires surgery. He suffered the injury in the 1st preseason game. It's the same shoulder that he had a labral repair on during the offseason.

Godwin has been out 10 months following a dislocated ankle. Not uncommonly, that's a 5- or 6-month injury. His injury was followed by reconstructive surgery to address ligament damage. In the spring, he required a second “clean-up” procedure to aid the healing process. While initial hope was that he’d be cleared for Week 1, those plans have vanished. The "clean up" procedure was to address loose articular cartilage and rough articular cartilage surfaces.
Only ~70% of players will come back to play. But if they do, most can reclaim their pre-injury performance level. The factor that may make this more difficult is significant articular cartilage damage.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out once he is cleared to practice.

He's been out for several weeks. Even a mild case can require weeks to months for safe return. And then there is the potential for re-injury or for this being a chronic condition leading to Achilles rupture, especially if not given the adequate time to heal. Week 1 may be pushing it, although he is a backup.
