Rams Reveal Plan for Demarcus Robinson in Week 13 After Arrest
Things have not gone well for the Los Angeles Rams since Sunday night. Not only did the team allow Saquon Barkley to run wild in primetime, en route to a 37-20 thrashing, but Los Angeles wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was also pulled over mere hours after the game was over due to concerns in regards to speeding and driving under the influence.
Robinson's sudden legal trouble has prompted both local and national attention as outside observers monitor how the Rams handle this development, especially since the NFL's had poor recent history with similar situations.
Well, head coach Sean McVay has finally made a big decision on the matter.
Sean McVay said that the team won’t suspend Demarcus Robinson this week. Legal process + league process will still unfold. Robinson addressed the team in meetings. McVay called Robinson a good person who made a bad decision and who understands the severity of that.

McVay told reporters Wednesday evening the team will not suspend the wideout over his pending legal issues, allowing him to play in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints. The Rams' HC added that Robinson has not only expressed remorse for his actions, but he also addressed the situation with his teammates after the news broke.
"I think it was a bad decision he made. I don't think that makes him a bad person. And I do believe this is something that with the words that he said, our guys will learn from it, and hopefully nobody's ever going to repeat something like this."

LA's immediate stance in terms of Robinson's availability is par for the course. There's still an entire legal process that needs to play out in terms of determining any kind of guilt, so the team has the right to await a ruling. The NFL will also look into the matter, so the receiver will be held accountable no matter what if any wrongdoing is found.
