Curtis Robinson could be the 49ers long term insurance at the linebacker position

It has been an exciting week in 49ers land. The news of Jimmy Garoppolo returning understandably dominated the headlines, but amidst all the chaos, a very interesting transaction was made on Tuesday.

The 49er’s front office retained linebacker Curtis Robinson on the final 53-man roster before placing him on injured reserve as he recovered from an ankle injury in the preseason finale. Robinson is entering his second year in the NFL after signing as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos after the 2021 draft.

Robinson saw action in three regular-season games with Denver last year, logging 84 snaps on defense and 52 on special teams in those two contests.
