Dallas Cowboys Defensive End Sam Williams Suffers Season-Ending Knee Injury
@ReadWhatRickWrote 
In a blow to their 2024 NFL season plans, the Dallas Cowboys have announced that defensive end Sam Williams sustained a severe knee injury during training camp on Sunday.
Williams, who had a standout high school career at Lee-Montgomery (now Percy Julian), was gearing up for his third season with the Cowboys when he tore both his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his left knee. This injury occurred during a special-teams drill at an unpadded practice session.
As a result, Williams will undergo surgery and is expected to miss the entire 2024 season, the team confirmed on Sunday night.
A promising player, Williams was a second-round draft pick from Ole Miss. Over his first two seasons in the NFL, he played in 32 regular-season games and three postseason games, amassing 48 tackles, 8.5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, 16 quarterback hits, two forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries. He was a significant presence on both defense and special teams, participating in 576 defensive snaps and 544 special-teams plays.
The Cowboys had been counting on Williams to step into a larger role this season, especially with the departure of defensive ends Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler in free agency.
