    underway this week in Eagan, the Minnesota Vikings currently have 89 players on
    the 90-man roster in attendance for the voluntary workouts.The one absence from
    the voluntary workouts? Wide receiver Stefon

    , who is not at the workouts because. . .well, nobody knows why,
    and it doesn’t matter why. They’re voluntary workouts, after all.One guy that’s
    not worried about Diggs not being at the voluntary workouts? His coach.For the
    record, however, it sounds like Diggs’ absence is going to be
    limited.Seriously Jaleel
    Johnson Jersey
    , I’m not sure why anyone speculates or gets bent out of
    shape when guys miss voluntary workouts. I don’t think Diggs has anything to be
    angry with the Vikings over, given that he just signed a significant contract
    extension with the team a year ago.If this was the team’s mandatory mini-camp
    and Diggs (or anyone else) wasn’t there, then there would be reason for gnashing
    of teeth and rending of garments. But it’s not, so if there’s anyone out there
    that was seriously worried about this or thought that it was an indicator of
    something bigger. . .well, it’s not.Antwione Williams was arrested on suspicion
    of DWI in May Since the Mike Zimmer era began, off-field shenanigans for the
    Minnesota Vikings have dropped significantly. Compared to previous
    regimes Pat
    Elflein Jersey
    , there have been relatively few incidents of members of
    the purple getting into legal hot water during their downtime. One of the team’s
    younger players, however, did run into some issues a couple of months ago that
    we are just learning about today.Antwione Williams, the linebacker that got the
    start for the team in Denver when Anthony Barr was held out of the game, was
    arrested back in May and cited for suspicion of driving while impaired. He was
    also charged with careless driving when he was clocked going 81 miles per hour
    in an area where the speed limit was 55. When he was pulled over, his blood
    alcohol level was
    .09 Dalvin Cook

    , over the Minnesota limit of .08.Williams entered a guilty plea to
    the careless driving charge, and the remaining charges were dropped. He was
    sentenced to 30 days in the Hennepin County Workhouse, but 29 days of that
    sentence were set aside and he was credited with one day of time served.Williams
    was initially a fifth-round draft choice of the Detroit Lions in the 2016 NFL
    Draft out of Georgia Southern. He spent just one season with the Lions before
    being waived as part of the team’s final cuts in 2017. After that, he signed
    with the Vikings’ practice squad, where he spent the 2017 season.The Vikings
    appear to think pretty highly of Williams in their race to sort out their
    linebacker depth chart. Yes, it was only for one preseason
    game Jalyn Holmes
    Jersey
    , but the fact that he did start the Vikings’ preseason opener in
    Denver shows that the team must think he has some pretty decent potential. We’ll
    have to see how this affects the team’s thought process on him, or if it affects
    it at all, throughout the rest of this preseason and into the team’s final
    cutdown.
