Kendrick was part of the Rams defense that shut down the Cardinals on Sunday, posting a 26-9 win at SoFi Stadium.

News of his arrest comes after it was announced that Los Angeles will already be without running back Kyren Williams when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

Both Williams and backup running back Ronnie Rivers underwent MRIs on Monday. Williams’ examination revealed an ankle sprain that is not considered a long-term injury, while Rivers is believed to have a strained PCL that will sideline him for a few weeks, NFL Network reported.

Williams suffered the injury during the fourth quarter of Los Angeles’ win over the Arizona Cardinals.
