Haynesworth has been indicted on two misdemeanor traffic charges in Tennessee after an accident that seriously injured another driver.
District Attorney Kim Helper says Haynesworth faces charges of reckless driving and having expired registration.
Haynesworth, a former Titan who signed with the Redskins last month, was released after surrendering Wednesday. Maximum punishment is six months in jail and a $500 fine on the reckless driving charge and 30 days and a $50 fine for the other charge.
I don't expect a whole lot to come of this. Maybe some driving classes or community service or something but I don't expect this to turn into a big deal.

There aren't criminal charges - which is good for him (and the Redskins). However, with these misdemeanors, and the accident itself, it is likely that Haynesworth will be looking at a (some) significant civil lawsuits.
Of course, if he has a decent lawyer, he should be able to try to negotiate a settlement without going to trial.
I'm sure this will end up being taken care of quickly/quietly.
