Less than 12 hours after the Los Angeles Rams' 37-20 blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.

Robinson was reportedly observed driving over 100 mph on the US-101 in Woodland Hills, California when he was pulled over, and according to a news release from the California Highway Patrol officers "observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment" from Robinson.

The arrest came at approximately 5:13 a.m. on Monday morning after the Rams closed their Week 12 game at home against the Eagles.

No additional details of the arrest have been released, and neither Robinson nor head coach Sean McVay have addressed the media, though McVay has a usually scheduled press conference on Tuesday morning.

Robinson, a nine-year NFL vet, has 384 yards and 6 touchdowns on 26 receptions in 2024. He played 51 snaps against the Eagles on Sunday, recording 15 yards and a touchdown on two catches.

If this arrest leads to any missed time for Robinson, look for Tyler Johnson and Tutu Atwell to see significantly increased workloads, as Robinson has been on the field for 86% of the Rams' offensive snaps in 2024. This is a significantly increased role compared to what he played in 2023, when he saw just 36% of the available snaps.

The Rams' next scheduled game is on Sunday, December 1st on the road against the New Orleans Saints.
