Robinson apologized after the news broke in November.
“I don’t want to bring that kind of light or any negative energy towards the team,” he said. “Those kinds of things are not natural for me, in my nature, things that I normally do.”
Rams coach Sean McVay said at the time that Robinson made a “bad decision,” but added, “I don’t think that makes him a bad person.”
