A day after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers said that they sou;don’t be kicking wide receiver Mike Williams off their team for being the victim of a stabbing, more information has been released that seems to further exonerate Williams from mostly all of the blame in the incident.

Witnesses are talking to the police about what they saw this weekend when the Buccaneers wide receiver was stabbed in his leg by his brother and the details, while graphic at times, seem to suggest that Williams wasn’t the aggressor.

Per the Tampa Bay Times:

"“They were arguing. Mike was mad, and they got into it,” said Carter, who said Baylor had damaged a Bentley automobile that belonged to Williams, the back window knocked out. “Mike wasn’t the aggressor, but I guess he was a little upset about that and he told him to get out.”"

It was noted that Williams was mad, but having an emotional reaction to something isn’t a pass to get stabbed in the thigh by your brother. Williams has been trying to say that the incident is being taken out of context or blown out of proportion, but the man did get stabbed in the leg which is no small matter.

Still, Williams looks to be clear of most of the blame in the incident and it’s very clear that he was the victim here and nothing more.
