Los Angeles Rams cornerback Derion Kendrick was arrested on a felony gun charge Monday morning, just hours after helping his team secure a win over the Arizona Cardinals.

TMZ Sports reported Hendricks was pulled over for a traffic violation and police discovered a firearm in his vehicle.

Officers also allegedly discovered marijuana.

He was booked into jail at “2:14 AM PT on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon.”

Yahoo News noted Rams head coach head coach Sean McVay confirmed Kendrick’s arrest and also indicated Kendrick was still in jail, as of Monday afternoon.

When questioned further about Kendrick, McVay told the Orange County Register, “I’m just going to kind of leave it at that until I have all the appropriate information. I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to speak on things that I don’t have the totality of it, other than knowing he was arrested early this a.m.”
