DENVER -- Jurors in Denver are considering the drunken driving case against Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams.

A jury was seated Wednesday and testimony should be wrapped up by the end of the day.

The weakside linebacker is already facing a six-game suspension for failing an offseason drug test. A conviction for driving under the influence and traffic charges could result in an even longer suspension.

Williams' trial was delayed several times, including last fall after he suffered a dislocated right elbow during a game. In May, just as opening statements were about to begin, his lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, won a mistrial after objecting to how jurors were selected.

Denver County jury has found Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams guilty of driving while ability impaired and driving without his headlights on.

He was on trial Wednesday related to a Nov. 12, 2010, arrest for driving under the influence. DWAI is a lesser alcohol related driving offense.

This is the second impaired-driving incident on Williams' record. He pleaded guilty in Douglas County in 2005 to driving while ability impaired.
