Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams won’t lose his starting job after he was accused of DUI early this morning.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that a Buccaneers official said Williams will travel to San Francisco and start on Sunday against 49ers.

Schefter reports that Williams was pulled over for driving going 12 mph over the speed limit. Breath testing indicated that Williams’ alcohol level was under the legal limit.

Williams was then brought in and gave a urine sample. The Tampa Tribune reports that a urine test is done if a deputy suspects a driver is impaired by a substance other than alcohol. The results of the urine test will determine whether Williams ends up with more than a speeding ticket.

Hold on -- now another Bucs official is saying Mike Williams will NOT play. One says he will, one says he won't. Someone will be right.

I would understand if it was stated, that he was without a doubt intoxicated, then yes, he should miss at least a quarter of the game. But from everything that I am reading, it looks as if he was under the legal limit and may have just been acting a fool. He'll probably get off the charges and play this Sunday. Its ok though, cause I don't want any excuses. My best Niner squad against their best Buc squad. Go Niners!

They'll let him play because they need the kid to win.

Speeding+ drinking and driving and we'll let you play.

That would be a great message to send to your team.

0.06 is like the equivalent of one beer or a glass of wine. I would hardly consider that a breach of NFL conduct. Now if he is on something else, then there is a prob!

Either way, I hope he doesn't play.

From NFL.com
A pair of tests revealed Williams' blood alcohol content at 0.065 and 0.061 percent, below Florida's 0.08 percent legal limit.

McKinnon stated that Williams failed a field sobriety test, had glassy eyes and smelled of alcohol. McKinnon said results are pending on a urine test that was conducted on Williams, often administered when police suspect a substance other than alcohol.
