Latest On Cowboys’ Terrance Williams

Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams was with the Cowboys as they practiced on Thursday morning, but his participation was limited to work on the sidelines with strength coaches, as Clarence E. Hill of the Star Telegram writes. Williams missed the Cowboys’ game over the weekend as well as Wednesday’s practice because of off-the-field issues, but an ailing left foot is currently holding him back. 

Williams isn’t accustomed to missing time. Before missing Sunday’s win over the Lions, Williams had a playing streak of 83 consecutive games dating back to his rookie campaign. And, despite averaging 46 catches and 672 yards in each of his previous seasons, Williams had just two grabs for 18 yards in his three games this season.

Before the foot injury came to light, the biggest issue plaguing Williams was a pending suspension for crashing his car into a pole. Although Williams was not charged with a DUI, it is believed that he was intoxicated at the time of the accident. Now, Williams could be on the verge of being placed on injured reserve, so the suspension would be something of a moot point.

Williams is in the second year of a four-year, $17MM deal and stands as the Cowboys’ priciest receiver. The Cowboys, in theory, can save $2.25MM by releasing him in the offseason, though they would be left with $2.5MM in dead money.
