Demarcus Robinson was arrested on suspicion of DUI earlier this week, putting him in danger of facing league discipline. While the legal process plays out in his case, the veteran wideout will remain in the Rams’ lineup. 
Robinson will suit up for Week 13, per head coach Sean McVay. Team officials met with the ninth-year wideout to discuss the situation, and Robinson added no timeline is currently in place with respect to any league action taking place. For the time being, then, he will continue in his current role for Los Angeles.
“I think it was a bad decision he made,” McVay said (via ESPN’s Sarah Barshop). “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.”
With Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua both healthy, Robinson is currently positioned to occupy a complementary role in Los Angeles’ passing attack. The 30-year-old has been productive when given the opportunity so far this season, though, posting 384 yards and six touchdowns on 26 catches. Robinson was a rotational option in 2023, and his success in that capacity landed him a second Rams contract this offseason.
That one-year deal carries a base salary of $4MM but it includes an additional $1MM in incentives. Robinson will therefore continue having the chance to add to his 2024 earnings for now as the Rams prepare to play the Saints on Sunday.
