Rams starting cornerback Derion Kendrick was arrested in Los Angeles on Monday … less than 12 hours after he helped his team beat the Arizona Cardinals.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports … the 23-year-old was pulled over early in the morning for a traffic violation — and we’re told during the stop, police found a gun in his car.
Jail records show Kendrick was then booked at 2:14 AM PT on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon … and as of 2:30 PM PT on Monday, he remained in custody.
Further details surrounding the arrest were not made immediately available. We’ve reached out to the Rams for comment, but so far, no word back yet.
Kendrick — who was drafted by LA in 2022 — played nearly every defensive down for the Rams just hours before his arrest … logging two tackles in their 26-9 win at SoFi Stadium.
In his two seasons with the Rams, he’s played in 21 games … recording seven pass breakups and 68 total tackles.
