Cowboys unsure if Sam Williams will play Saturday after car accident

yg5O2xLHUICo
Gardner Minshew will get the start for Philadelphia in place of the banged up Jalen Hurts against division rival Dallas, but Chris Simms and Mike Florio aren't buying that it automatically makes the Eagles worse than the Cowboys.

Cowboys rookie defensive end Sam Williams was transported to the hospital after a car accident on Thursday.

Team owner Jerry Jones said in an interview with 105.3 The Fan on Friday that the Cowboys are unsure whether or not Williams will be active for Saturday’s game against the Eagles. Via Jori Epstein of YahooSports.com, Jones said it’s a matter of a “concussion question.”

Police said Williams was transported to the hospital mainly as a precautionary measure.

Williams has recorded 20 total tackles, 3.0 sacks, eight tackles for loss, and seven quarterback hits in his rotational role on defense. He’s also played the majority of special teams snaps.
