Robinson goes from bubble to near lock after Pearsall's season-ending injury.

Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has elevated from a bubble roster spot to a near lock for the 49ers roster. With Ricky Pearsall out for the season and Christian Kirk banged up, Robinson has become a necessity rather than a luxury. He is a veteran who has Kyle Shanahan's trust and is expected to be one of six receivers kept on the roster, making an exception to the typical special teams requirement for backup receivers.
