An arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence will not affect the playing status of San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson for Sunday 's divisional <m> playoff </m> game at Pittsburgh .
Jackson was arrested on the DUI charge early Tuesday morning by the California Highway Patrol .
However , the fourth-year wide receiver likely will not face disciplinary action until the 2009 season .
An NFL spokesman on Wednesday said the league will await a determination by the court before considering disciplinary action against Jackson .
Along with the misdemeanor DUI allegation , California Highway Patrol Officer Brad Baehr said Jackson was cited for driving on probation for a prior DUI .
Jackson issued a statement released through the team .
`` I was stopped by an officer , '' he said .
`` I do n't think any charges will be filed as a result of the stop .
In the event they are , I look forward to clearing my name and proving my innocence . ''
Baehr said he was not aware of the particulars of the previous DUI charge and that results of Jackson 's blood test are pending .
Jackson had his finest season in 2008 with with 59 receptions for 1,098 yards and seven touchdowns for the AFC West champions .
`` We 're aware of the off-the-field issue involving Vincent , '' team general manager A.J. Smith said in a statement .
`` Obviously we 're disappointed .
We take these issues very seriously .
Moving forward , we will monitor the situation and have no further comment . ''
