According to a report by TMZ Sports, a Las Vegas Raiders player was arrested early Monday morning and charged with drunk driving.
The police found the man asleep at the wheel of his car in the parking lot.
After officers made contact with him, he was arrested.
The Raiders defeated the Colts on Sunday. The man was found outside of The Cromwell Hotel in Las Vegas at 4 a.m. and was booked into the Clark County Detention Center at 6:38 a.m.
In 15 games this season, the fifth-round draft pick has started nine. He has 67 tackles this year, and has one interception and one forced fumbled.
The 22-year-old played a key role in the Raiders' win over the Colts, playing 80 percent of the defensive snaps and totaling four tackles.
His status is in question for the team's Week 18 game.
The arrest comes about two months after former Raiders teammate Henry Ruggs III was arrested for his involvement in a car crash that killed a woman. He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol causing death and reckless driving after posting a blood alcohol content of twice the legal limit in Nevada.
In November, the Raiders released former first-round pick Damon Arnette after he was seen on video brandishing a gun while threatening to kill someone.
