Demarcus Robinson's 49ers regular-season debut might have to wait -- the San Francisco wide receiver was hit with a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the punishment on Wednesday ... but it shouldn't come as a surprise after the 30-year-old wrapped his DUI case last month.

As we previously reported, Robinson -- who was a member of the Los Angeles Rams at the time of his Nov. 2024 arrest following a "Monday Night Football" matchup -- was handed 36 months of probation and a $390 fine ... and was also ordered to complete several programs as part of a deal with prosecutors.

Myles Garrett isn't interested in talking about anything other than football ... which reporters quickly learned after pressing the NFL star about his most recent speeding ticket, shutting down all questions regarding the incident.

Garrett spoke publicly for the first time since getting pulled over for going 100 MPH in a 60 zone on I-71 in Ohio after the team arrived home from Charlotte after defeating the Carolina Panthers earlier this month.

When asked how it felt watching his cars speedometer creep up to triple digits, the 29-year-old wasn't playing ball.

Ciara's earned herself lots of fans over the length of her multi-decade career ... although it looks like her biggest fan just might be her husband, Russell Wilson!

The thing is, the singer's spouse isn't just famous for his marriage, as he's made a name for himself over the past few years as a professional football player and entrepreneur.

We're going to take a look at the professional and personal lives of the athlete and see how he's been able to start a family with the hitmaker.

Wilson's football career began during his time at Collegiate School, a preparatory school in his home state of Virginia, where he also played basketball and baseball.

The athlete began playing for North Carolina State University in 2007, and he remained with the institution's football squad as one of its quarterbacks for three seasons.

He eventually transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and he played with the Badgers for a single season.

Wilson helped lead the team all the way to the 2012 Rose Bowl, where they were defeated by the Oregon Ducks.

Oh, and remember when we mentioned he'd played baseball when he was in high school? Turns out, those skills served him well, as he played in the minor leagues for two seasons before he was drafted into the NFL.

Wilson's career in the NFL began in 2012 as a third-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks, where he spent 10 seasons.

The athlete, who was at one point the highest-paid player in the league, led the team to the Super Bowl in 2013 and 2014, and although they won the first matchup, they lost the next.

Wilson's time with the Seahawks ended in 2021, when he moved to the Denver Broncos, where he spent two seasons, and he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers for a single season before signing with the New York Giants.

Although Wilson's highest-profile relationship has been with Ciara, he was first married to Ashton Meem from 2012 until 2014.

The professional athlete met Ciara in 2015, and they dated for just over a year before they decided to make things official and tie the knot in July 2016.

The pair didn't exactly wait for too long before starting a family, as the singer gave birth to a baby girl named Sienna in April 2017.

And the two didn't stop there, as they welcomed a son named Win in April 2020, and Ciara gave birth to a second girl named Amora in 2023 -- oh, and Wilson is also stepfather to his wife's son Future, who she shares with a rapper ... Future, to be exact!

Wilson and Ciara aren't just life partners, they're business partners too ... working on various entrepreneurial projects together over the course of their marriage.

The pair co-founded a fashion company, The House of LR&C, alongside former Lululemon Athletica CEO Christina Day in 2020, and they manage several clothing lines through their venture.

The couple also works in philanthropy, and they established a charitable organization, the Why Not You Foundation, in 2014, which was set up to provide low-income children with access to education and healthcare.

Jim Kelly's newborn grandson returned home earlier this week after spending 38 days in the hospital with "unexpected medical complications" ... and the legendary Buffalo Bills quarterback is now taking time to thank everyone who supported them on their journey -- saying, "We will never forget you."

Kelly and his wife, Jill, shared the lengthy statement on their Instagrams with a carousel of photos featuring their daughter, Erin, and her son, Beau ... and took the opportunity to praise the talented staff at Golisano Children's Hospital for their hard work.

"You listened to our countless questions and answered them with patience, grace, and compassion. You cared not only for Beau, but for all of us," the Kellys said.

Nicholas Hoult admittedly knows very little about American football, but one thing's clear -- after he took in the Pittsburgh preseason game over the weekend, he's a big fan of Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers!

The "Superman" actor hit up Acrisure Stadium on Saturday to catch the Black and Yellow's exhibition matchup with the Buccaneers ... and he told TMZ Sports out at LAX on Tuesday the trip was awesome.

He got some one-on-one time with Rodgers just before kickoff -- and he said it was "cool" to bro down with Pitt's new signal-caller.

Dak Prescott's got lots to be thankful for these days -- like being the most well-compensated player in the NFL with a cool $60 million annual paycheck!

But ya gotta imagine a guy like him has to be appreciative of the things he's got going on off the field -- including the family he's started with his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, who he's been with for a few years.

We're going to check out what the pro football player's future wife's life is like and see how they ended up making big plans for their future together.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback's fiancée is a native of Florida, where she was raised in the Tampa Bay area.

Ramos decided to stay local when picking a college, and she attended Florida State University in Tallahassee.

Oh, and the athlete's partner's been pretty open about her fondness for the institution, as she wore FSU gear while posing for a photo with her sister Grace -- who also attended Florida State -- which was shared on Instagram back in 2022.

Following the end of her college days, she began working in the beverage industry, and she describes herself as a "Certified Wine & Spirits Specialist" in her Instagram bio.

Prescott and Ramos were first connected in September 2023, when she posted a pic featuring the quarterback on her Instagram Story.

She shared another photo with Prescott on her account two months later, and the carousel featured a shot of her attending a Cowboys game.

And if the athlete's fans weren't convinced about their relationship by then ... Ramos confirmed their connection when she revealed her pregnancy in November 2023.

The happy couple later became a family with the birth of their daughter Margaret Jane, who arrived in March 2024.

Prescott decided to make things official with his partner in October 2024, when he got down on one knee and popped the big question.

The quarterback really went the extra mile with the ring, too, as the piece he gave to Ramos was valued at roughly $1 million, according to Brides -- which is actually less than a week's salary for him!

The fun doesn't stop there, either, because the wine specialist revealed she was pregnant with a second child in December 2024! Aurora Rayne Prescott was born in May 2025.

George Kittle's built up a strong fanbase in his time with the San Francisco 49ers, and we're sure his wife's Claire's right there with the rest of his fans!

The tight end and the fitness trainer have been together for well over a decade, and their connection's remained strong throughout George's career in the NFL, which started in 2017.

We're taking a look into the background of the athlete's wife to see how their connection's remained strong ever since their college days.

Claire's worked in the health and fitness industry for nearly a decade, according to her LinkedIn, and she's been a trainer ever since 2016.

She also taught barre classes -- think of it like hardcore ballet meets gym workout -- while she was living with George in Iowa.

And all her hard work hasn't just been for her professional life, as she entered her first bikini fitness competition in 2018.

Claire shared a post on her personal blog following the event to let her fans know she was feeling "proud of myself" despite not taking home the top prize at the competition.

George and Claire's story goes way, way back -- all the way to their college days, to be exact, when they met while attending the University of Iowa.

While the two didn't exactly hit it off their first meeting -- when George complimented his now-wife's bright pink moped helmet, according to ESPN -- they began dating a few months later.

And the NFL star's not the only athlete in their household, as Claire was a member of the University of Iowa's basketball team for the entire length of her college career, up until her final season, when she left the team in order to deal with a recurring knee injury.

Remember how we said George and Claire had been together ever since college? So, it turns out the NFL star decided to take things a step further when he proposed to the trainer at a beach in Santa Cruz, California, in August 2018.

The pair locked things down when in an intimate wedding ceremony in Iowa City the following April, which was only attended by their immediate family members.

George and Claire waited for two years before holding a larger ceremony at their home in Nashville in April 2021.

Madison Beer and Justin Herbert are sending a charge through social media right now ... getting romance rumors swirling just weeks before the NFL regular season kicks off.

The pop star and the Pro-Bowl QB were photographed together at what looks like a shoot for one of Madison's new music videos in Los Angeles ... chatting and smiling while Beer occasionally introduced Herbert to members of the crew.

Beer looked angelic on set ... literally, she's got angel wings and a tiny white dress on. Herbert dressed more casually in a blue sweater and cap -- flashing a shy grin while in conversation.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce's new steakhouse is almost here ... and the three-time Super Bowl champs are making sure to give every item on the menu their personal stamp of approval ahead of its grand opening!!

The duo's restaurant, named 1587 Prime, is located on the ground floor of the Loews Kansas City Hotel -- just eight miles northwest of Arrowhead Stadium.

The official ribbon-cutting is set for September 17 (which just so happens to be Mahomes' birthday) ... but before they welcome everyone in to chow down, they had to taste the menu themselves.

Xavier Worthy appeared shocked when Taylor Swift name-dropped him during Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast last week ... admitting on-camera the moment was "crazy."

The Chiefs' social media team played the clip for their wideout on Monday and filmed his reaction ... and it's not hard to see he was thrilled with the shoutout.

"I ain't going to lie," he said, "she's the biggest pop star in this generation. So, it's crazy to have somebody running around the house screaming, 'We drafted you.'"

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past decade or so, you know Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars right now -- and of all time, it turns out -- and she's certainly built herself a solid fanbase over the years!

And even though some of her listeners might say otherwise, it looks like her biggest fan of all is her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who was well on his own way to superstardom before he started dating the singer.

Here's a look at how the NFL star carved out a place for himself within the world of professional football ... and ended up being around for some of his girlfriend's biggest career moments.

Kelce's athletic career stretches all the way back to his teenage years, when he was a three-sport athlete -- basketball, baseball and football, to be exact -- while attending Ohio's Cleveland Heights High School.

He later attended the University of Cincinnati -- as did his brother Jason -- where he joined the school's football squad and played at quarterback and tight end.

The athlete had to sit out for the 2010 season after testing positive for marijuana use, although he came back strong for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Kelce ended up being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs as a tight end in 2013, and he's remained with the team ever since.

Kelce's time with the Chiefs didn't exactly start off with a bang, as he spent much of the 2013 NFL season on the sidelines with a knee injury.

However, he came back strong in his subsequent years with the league, and he's set numerous records with both the Chiefs and the NFL as a whole over the length of his career in professional football.

Plus, his skills on the gridiron have helped the Chiefs go all the way to the Super Bowl four times, and he currently has three Super Bowl rings.

Oh yeah, and he's had some high-profile fans cheering in the stands for him at more than one Super Bowl ... we'll explain more in just a minute.

Alright, folks, here's the fun stuff you've been waiting for ... Kelce and Swift were first linked in 2023, when he was spotted at one of the stops on her "Eras" tour.

Afterward, on the "New Heights" podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason -- a retired Philadelphia Eagles center -- he talked about being "mesmerized" by the star, and said he was upset he didn't get to meet Taylor. He said he'd made a friendship bracelet specifically for Taylor -- with his phone number on it -- but didn't get to give it to her in person.

Friends surrounding both celebs got the message to Taylor -- even the Chiefs' head coach Andy Reid reached out to Taylor's father, a friend of his, to vouch for Travis.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Taylor told Time Magazine.

Taylor admitted they got in touch and started hanging out ... and they really set off the rumor mill when she began attending his games.

And by the time she was pictured planting a kiss on his cheek in October 2023, it was pretty apparent the two were an item, and their romance brought plenty of attention to both Kelce's career and the Chiefs as a team.

Plus, she was in the stands when the Chiefs won it all at the 2024 Super Bowl -- and the pair locked lips on the field at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, after the game's fairytale ending went down.

Swift was also in attendance at the 2025 Super Bowl, which saw the Chiefs lose to the Philadelphia Eagles ... and Travis later credited his girlfriend's music with helping him get through his post-loss rough patch.

Kelce's been a source of support for Swift over the course of their relationship, and he's collaborated with her on more than a few occasions -- like when she brought him out onstage for a skit at a 2024 stop on her "Eras" tour!

And he eventually got over his shyness about sharing photos with her on his Instagram account, as he posted several snaps with the singer in July 2025.

Oh yeah, and Swift collaborated with her boyfriend to make a few big announcements ... like dropping an official confirmation about her 12th album, "The Life of a Showgirl" on his "New Heights" podcast.

Spike Lee's documentary on Colin Kaepernick was scrapped, but the decision had NOTHING to do with pressure from the NFL, ESPN's longtime business partner, sources tell TMZ Sports.

The news initially broke over the weekend when the award-winning filmmaker was asked about the project while walking a red carpet, saying, "It's not coming out. That's all I can tell you."

Soon after, Lee and the network released a joint statement, citing "certain creative differences" as the reason for cutting bait.

Greg Olsen caused quite the stir after dropping his nickname for Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane on live TV ... 'cause as it turns out, the word he used also has an entirely different meaning.

The moment went down when the Buffalo exec joined Olsen and Joe Davis to talk some ball during the Bills vs. Chicago Bears preseason matchup. With Beane's team down 31-0, the guys tried to lighten the mood ... and that's when the former tight end called him the word and said he was "having a tough one" on Sunday.

"Putting that smile on his face, just bad timing," he added.

Undrafted free agent Isaiah Bond officially has an NFL home with the Cleveland Browns after being accused of sexual assault earlier this year -- inking a fully-guaranteed deal worth millions just days after his case was no-billed.

21-year-old Bond -- a projected early-round pick in the 2025 draft prior to the allegations -- put pen to paper on a three-year, $3.018 million contract on Monday, according to multiple reports.

It shouldn't come as a huge surprise -- on Thursday, Bond thanked the Orange and Brown in his statement addressing the legal update ... and said he would prove them right in believing his side of the story.

We know there are lots of athletes out there who love to show off their skills ... and this celeb really managed to impress us back in the day!

We caught this pro football player all the way back in 2010 when he was hanging out with a few friends off of Hollywood Boulevard, and he decided to show off his hops by pulling off an impressive vertical jump!

Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is reportedly set to play in the first few games of the NFL season while he awaits a disciplinary hearing over his role in a 2024 car crash ... and one of the accident victim's lawyers told TMZ Sports he can't believe that's an actual reality.

Marc Lenahan, the attorney representing Kathryn Kuykendall -- who sued Rice after she allegedly suffered multiple injuries when the wideout crashed his rented Lamborghini into the Uber she was in -- said his eligibility to start the year is nonsense, especially as they await a $1 million civil settlement he says they agreed to back in April.

"It makes no sense," the lawyer said.
