49ers' Curtis Robinson: Role expands in injury-plagued year
Rotowire
Robinson recorded 42 tackles (19 solo) with one pass defended across 14 games with the 49ers in 2025.
Fred Warner (ankle) headlined a list of injured linebackers that San Francisco was forced to play without for most of 2025. Robinson -- a career special-teamer -- took advantage of the available defensive snaps and set a new career high in combined tackles (42). The 28-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, so Robinson will have to re-sign with his current club if he wants to spend a sixth season on the 49ers' special-teams unit.

Rotowire
Robinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday night's game against the Seahawks, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Robinson will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game, with Eric Kendricks seeming to have earned the No. 2 middle linebacker spot on the depth chart. Robinson will likely not be active again this season as long as the 49ers' linebacker corps maintains its current health.

Rotowire
Robinson (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Friday.

49ers' Curtis Robinson: Back from IR
Rotowire
The 49ers activated Robinson (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.
After missing the 49ers' first five games while recovering from a high-ankle sprain, Robinson returned to practice Wednesday. The 49ers apparently came away encouraged by how Robinson checked out during those three sessions, so he looks as though he could get the chance to make his 2022 debut Sunday in Atlanta. The 24-year-old is projected to serve as a depth option at linebacker.

49ers' Curtis Robinson: Set to miss time with injury
Rotowire
Robinson (groin) is expected to miss the 49ers' practices this week while dealing with a groin injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
It's unclear when the 24-year-old sustained this injury, and he's likely a question mark for San Francisco's preseason matchup against the Vikings on Aug. 20. Robinson played exclusively on special teams (37 snaps) over the final three regular-season games for the 49ers in 2021 before re-signing with the team in January. With the second-year middle linebacker sidelined, backups Marcelino McCrary-Ball and Jeremiah Gemmel should see increased snaps during practice this week.
