Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was reportedly arrested shortly after Sunday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to TMZ, Robinson was arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of a DUI. The 30-year-old scored his career-high sixth touchdown of the season in a 37-20 loss at SoFi Stadium.
Police claimed Robinson was driving above 100 mph on an L.A. freeway when they pulled him over around 5 a.m. The officers said he displayed signs of impairment and refused to perform a field sobriety test.
Per TMZ, police arrested Robinson on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI. Robinson, who identified himself as a Rams player, was later released.
As of Monday evening, the Rams have yet to comment on the situation.
A former fourth-round pick, Robinson spent five seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs before playing for the Baltimore Ravens in 2022.
After joining the Rams in 2023, Robinson didn't receive his first target until Week 9. He finished the season with 26 catches for 371 yards and four touchdowns.
The Rams re-signed Robinson to a one-year deal worth $4 million. Injuries to Cooper Kupp and Puka Nucua led to an increased role for the former Florida Gators wideout, who has caught 26 of 50 targets for 384 yards this season.
Robinson secured a two-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford early in the third quarter of Sunday night's loss. The Rams dropped to 5-6 after failing to convert a single third down and allowing 255 rushing yards to Saquon Barkley.
