Overview
- Demarcus Robinson suffered a non-contact right ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s game and was taken to the locker room on a cart after being evaluated in the sideline medical tent.
- The 49ers officially listed Robinson as questionable to return and broadcasters later reported he was ruled out for the remainder of the game, but the team has not released a definitive diagnosis.
- Video reviewed by a sports medicine specialist showed Robinson’s ankle appeared to roll while he was untouched, though exact damage must be confirmed by imaging and follow-up exams.
- Robinson’s exit compounds earlier losses, including rookie De’Zhaun Stribling’s Week 1 ankle surgery and other receiver absences, forcing the 49ers to promote depth players and shift targets toward veterans.
- What to watch next: the 49ers’ postgame imaging results, official medical updates, and any short-term roster moves that will determine how the team divides snaps in upcoming weeks.
