Rams receiver Demarcus Robinson arrested in L.A. on suspicion of DUI
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, the California Highway Patrol said.
Robinson, who was observed driving more than 100 mph on US-101 northbound, was arrested at approximately 5:13 a.m. on Monday morning in Woodland Hills, California. The arrest came hours after he caught a touchdown in the Rams’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on “Sunday Night Football.”
According to a news release, officers assigned to the CHP-West Valley Area Office observed a white Dodge sedan traveling more than 100 mph. The release said officers “observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment” and Robinson was arrested.
Robinson was cited and released to “a responsible party,” the CHP said.
The arrest was initially reported by TMZ.
Robinson is in his eighth NFL season and second in Los Angeles. He has 26 catches for 384 yards and six touchdowns this season.
Rams head coach Sean McVay is scheduled to speak to reporters Tuesday morning.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins sustained a knee injury in Monday’s 30-23 loss to his former team, the Baltimore Ravens, and did not play in the second half.
Dobbins, who had 40 yards on six carries before being injured, left without speaking to reporters after the game. Coach Jim Harbaugh said he had no update on the running back’s injury status.
“I don’t have any update,” Harbaugh said. “I know it’s a knee.”
Dobbins was injured about five minutes before halftime when he was wrenched backward by linebacker Malik Harrison and then gang-tackled by Baltimore on a play erased by a holding penalty against the Chargers.
Dobbins grabbed his knee after getting up, and he eventually went to the locker room. He was ruled out for the game in the second half.
Although backup Gus Edwards stepped in for Dobbins — just as he did in Baltimore when they were teammates with the Ravens — he managed only 11 yards on nine carries. The Chargers struggled to move the ball in Dobbins’ absence, managing only two field goals on their next five drives before tacking on a late touchdown in the loss that ended their four-game winning streak.
“I thought we did a good job running the ball in the first half,” Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert said. “Obviously I’m hoping J.K. is OK.”
Los Angeles finished with just 83 yards on the ground after entering the weekend with the NFL’s 12th-ranked rushing offense.
The Ravens drafted Dobbins in the second round in 2020, but he sat out most of two seasons because of injuries.
He signed a one-year deal with the Chargers during the offseason.
Dobbins entered the game third in the AFC in rushing with 726 yards and was averaging 4.8 yards per carry. He has been considered among the contenders for Comeback Player of the Year after sustaining a torn Achilles tendon in last season’s opener.
