Per Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan, Redskins left tackle Trent Williams has been pulled from the Pro Bowl after being involved in an altercation Thursday evening, and will require stitches that will keep him out of action.

Further details of the altercation are unknown at this point.

As a result of Williams' departure from the game, Vikings tackle Matt Kalil has been named to the NFC Pro Bowl roster to take his place.

This story will be updated as more details are uncovered.

UPDATE: Trent Williams was a victim of the assault, and not a suspect, according to Honolulu police. The following was tweeted by ESPN's Adam Schefter Friday evening:

January 25, 2013 Captain Andrew Lum, Office of the Chief, Honolulu Police Department: "At 1:30 am this morning, Honolulu Police Department (HPD) officers responded to a report of a large affray at a night club in central Honolulu. Three males were injured during the affray. Two were treated and released from the hospital, and the third male declined treatment. One male was arrested for Assault in the 3rd Degree and additional arrests are likely. The HPD has opened an Assault 2nd and four Assault 3rd investigations. The investigation into these offenses continue." Williams is not a suspect and was one of the people injured. He got stitches in his head and was tasered.

Williams will still attend the Pro Bowl and be treated as a member as the NFC roster, but will not play.
