Williams (hamstring) is facing charges for criminal mischief and trespassing from an unspecified December incident, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Williams dealt with some off-the-field issues in college but has stayed out of trouble in the NFL, with the exception of a 2010 DUI arrest in which the chargers were eventually dropped. With the details of his recent incident unavailable, it's unclear whether Williams is in danger of facing discipline from the league. He missed the final 10 games of the 2013 season with a hamstring injury, finishing the year with 22 receptions for 216 yards and a pair of touchdowns in six appearances. Williams signed a six-year, $40 million extension prior to the season, but, as is the case with seemingly every contract the Bucs hand out, his deal doesn't contain guaranteed money after the first few years. The team still would have almost nothing to gain by cutting him before 2016, so the latest incident probably won't threaten his roster spot, although nothing is certain while the details remain unknown.
