HONOLULU (AP) — Washington offensive tackle Trent Williams won’t play in the Pro Bowl after being hurt in a brawl at a Honolulu nightclub.

NFL officials and local police said Friday night the first-time all-star was hurt in a fight that injured three men, sending two to the hospital.

Police say one man was arrested and five others are being investigated for assault, but not Williams.

The league says the third-year pro will be on the sideline for the Pro Bowl game Sunday and won’t lose his status as a member of the NFC team. Officials say he’ll be paid a full Pro Bowl share.

Williams’ Redskins teammate Jammal Brown says on Twitter that Williams needed seven stitches. Brown says the fight wasn’t Williams’ fault and he did nothing wrong.
