<p>On Friday morning after his arrest for DUI, rookie wide receiver Mike Williams <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/article1135798.ece">gave the team the results of an independent urine test </a>to prove his innocence. He also submitted to a urine test under arrest after blowing under the legal limit on two separate breathalyzer tests.</p>
<p>The team was satisfied with the results of the test and allowed Williams to play Sunday against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ninersnation.com/">49ers</a> after consulting with team captains.</p>
<p>Head coach Raheem Morris said that Williams will be fined by the team for his transgressions and poor judgment. Most likely the legal charges will be dropped and the NFL will not take further action.</p>

<p>There is an adage in the NFL that nothing good happens after midnight and last night Tampa Bay Buccaneer rookie wide receiver Mike Williams became the latest case in point. At approximately 3am Friday morning, Williams was pulled over for speeding 12 miles over the posted limit and was subsequently <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/tampa-bay-buccaneers-rookie-wide-receiver-mike-williams-to-play-sunday/1135235">arrested on charges of driving under the influence</a> of alcohol.</p>
<p>Williams reportedly failed a field sobriety test and later was given two separate breathalyzer tests in which he blew .065 and .061, both of which is under the legal limit of 0.08. The police officer choose to arrest Williams despite those numbers based on his belief that he "smelled of alcohol" and had "glassy eyes". William was released at 8am after posting $500 bail.</p>
<p>Williams submitted to a urine test which is given to determine if the suspect is impaired by any substance other than alcohol and the results from that test are yet unknown.</p>
<p>After some initial conflicting statements from the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bucsnation.com/">Buccaneers</a>, Head Coach Raheem Morris announced this afternoon that Williams will travel to San Fransisco with the team and after consulting with his team captains, <span>Josh Freeman</span> and <span>Ronde Barber</span>, Williams<a target="_blank" href="http://www.pewterreport.com/index.php?option=com_k2&Itemid=20&view=item&layout=item&id=6407"> will be given the okay to play Sunday</a> against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ninersnation.com/">49ers</a>.</p>
<p>Earlier this year similar cases have have resulted in the team sitting their player down for only the first quarter following extra-curricular transgressions as both <span>Braylon Edwards</span> of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">Jets</a> and <span>Kenny Britt</span> of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/">Titans</a> faced similar allegations and were not suspended by the league.</p>
<p>Morris told reporters that he was "disappointed" in Williams' decision to stay out late and drive after having even a little to drink but he also said he was gathering as much detail as he could and with the information he had he was comfortable playing Mike this Sunday.</p>
