Raiders safety Roderic Teamer has found himself in trouble with the law, as he was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Las Vegas early Sunday morning. According to local jail records, the arrest occurred after Teamer was pulled over for speeding.
Following the arrest, Teamer was released from jail, but he will be inactive for Sunday's home game against the Kansas City Chiefs, as reported by multiple sources. The exact details surrounding Teamer's arrest have not yet been disclosed to the public.
In light of the situation, the Raiders released a statement acknowledging Teamer's arrest and stating that they are currently gathering more information regarding the incident. They have chosen not to comment further at this time.
Saturday marked Teamer's return from the injured reserve list and he was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game after participating in practice throughout the week. Teamer had been sidelined since Week 6 due to a hamstring injury sustained during a game against the New England Patriots.
Teamer, who is currently in his fourth year as a professional player, has spent the past three seasons with the Raiders. Prior to that, he played for the Los Angeles Chargers as a rookie. While he started occasionally in his first two seasons with the Raiders, he has had limited playing time this season, recording five tackles in six games.
As the legal process unfolds, Teamer's arrest will undoubtedly have implications for his future with the Raiders and within the NFL. The team and league will likely conduct their own investigations into the matter and determine the appropriate course of action.
