Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson just got himself into some legal trouble: the team now heads into that big playoff game. Demarcus has been charged with misdemeanor DUI on a November arrest, which really piles on more pressure for him before Monday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

According to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, Robinson, 30, was charged with one count of misdemeanor DUI, along with an additional infraction. He is set to appear in court for arraignment next month. Yahoo! Sports reports that the incident happened just hours after the Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 24 at SoFi Stadium.

According to authorities, Robinson was driving over 100 MPH when he was stopped. The officers reportedly noticed signs of intoxication during the stop, and he was arrested.

How Will This Affect Robinson and His Team?

Despite the legal wranglings, Robinson remains one of the prominent figures in the Rams. This is because he started all the 17 games that this season played.

In other words, this wide receiver still stands to be in the coming postseason match-up. For their part, the Rams count on Robinson's experience and his talent as they confront this challenging encounter against the Vikings.

According to TMZ Sports, the timing could not be worse: the charge has the potential to overshadow the focus of the team at this most crucial time of their season. Neither Robinson nor the Rams have made any statement on the case so far.

Legal Consequences that Robinson Will Face

Robinson is to be arraigned late next month, so his legal case will remain unresolved as the Rams chase their playoff run. A misdemeanor DUI conviction would then carry fines, potential license suspension, and other penalties, though it remains to be seen just how this case will play out.

While Robinson deals with off-the-field issues, the Rams will focus on keeping their playoff aspirations on track. Los Angeles needs a win Monday night against the Vikings, and they will need everyone on board to make it happen.

Speaking of DUI, Vikings' WR Jordan Addison was once involved in this incident. However, he pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor charges. His pre-trial conference hearing was scheduled for Jan. 9.
