NFL will not discipline Jonathan Williams for arrest

The Buffalo Bills received some good news regarding running back Jonathan Williams.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that the second-year tailback was informed by the NFL he won't be disciplined under the substance abuse policy, per a source informed of the situation.

As a rookie, Williams appeared in 11 games for the Bills, rushing 27 times for 94 yards and a touchdown.

The lack of a suspension is great news for the Bills' backfield. Williams is the favorite for the primary backup role behind LeSean McCoy in Buffalo this season after last year's backup Mike Gillisleeleft for New England.
