The National Football League has suspended Baltimore Ravens CB Cary Williams for violating the league's personal conduct policy. It will be a two game suspension. Williams was going to go into training camp as a viable contender for the nickel back slot in 2010, but his chances have now been significantly lessened.
"We've been aware of this since before we signed Cary," Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome said in a statement. The incident occurred during the cornerback's time with the Tennessee Titans.
With over eighty men on the Ravens' current roster, the competition will be tough at Williams' position. Due to the open slot (due to injuries to Washington and Webb) next to CB Domonique Foxworth, Williams will be competing with the newly acquired Walt Harris, veteran Chris Carr, and the aggressive KJ Gerard.
If Washington and Webb make their way back from injury, his chances of playing cornerback are ancient history and he will be in the running for nickel back.
