Raiders DE Janarius Robinson Arrested In Vegas Amid Super Bowl Week
Raiders defensive end Janarius Robinson was arrested in Vegas on Tuesday — just days away from Super Bowl LVIII, hosted in Sin City. The 24-year-old was arrested for drunk driving — Robinson received a DUI charge following his early morning arrest (5:59 a.m.) at the ARIA resort's valet area, per the New York Post.
The former fourth-round pick has been with the Las Vegas Raiders since Aug. 2023. Robinson played eight games for the Raiders last season, adding a sack and eight total tackles.

The Minnesota Vikings drafted Robinson in 2021 out of FSU. He landed on the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad for a year before joining Las Vegas.
A statement by the Raiders, released Tuesday afternoon, acknowledged Robinson's arrests, with no further comment on the DE's status.
