Nate Hobbs Arrest: NFL Player's Team Raiders Proceeds With Surprising Move Regarding His Return After DUI Case

A report has been made regarding Nate Hobbs expected return to the football field after his recent DUI case last Monday, January 3.

According to ESPN, the Las Vegas Raiders rookie nickel cornerback may return to play on Sunday night, January 9, in a potential playoff elimination game against Los Angeles Chargers, according to their interim coach Rich Bisaccia.

In a statement the coach left on Wednesday, "Obviously, we take that extremely serious, organizationally and certainly within our team. So based on what we've learned, at this time, we expect Nate to play. It's a legal matter and other than that I have really nothing else and we'll leave it at that."

Hobbs DUI Case

Last Monday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received a call that morning reporting that a driver was asleep in a vehicle parked on the exit ramp of The Cromwell Hotel parking garage. As said by the enforces, the driver was identified as Hobbs, also claiming that he failed a field sobriety test.

The player was then transported to the Clark County Detention Center and booked for DUI, as per the source.

"The facts and circumstances related by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to the news media leave serious concerns that this does not qualify as a DUI under Nevada law," they said.
