Doug Williams Apologizes for Calling Reuben Foster DV Arrest 'Small Potatoes'

Washington Redskins executive Doug Williams apologized Friday for comments he made in reference to linebacker Reuben Foster's recent domestic violence arrest.

According to ESPN.com's John Keim, Williams appeared on The Team 980 on Thursday and called Foster's arrest "small potatoes" in comparison to what some people in "high places" have done.

Williams said the following about his comments Friday:

"I want to apologize to the organization, my wife, my mom, my sisters and the six daughters that I have. The last night or so [has] been real tough on me from an emotional standpoint, because never in my life did I say anything so insensitive as [what] I said.
