A Plano Police spokesperson said the accident occurred at 2:15 p.m. local time on Thursday, and Willaims was hit when a vehicle attempted to cross in front of him.

“I haven’t talked to him, but I do know that from the standpoint of the wreck, I think it’s fair to say that he’s okay,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan Friday morning before the team ruled Williams out, per the Cowboys official website. “Now, I say that without having talked with him or frankly analyzed to the extent of his injuries. But they were discussing whether or not he could play (Saturday) or not. So, that maybe gives you an idea of the status of the injury. But it would be purely a concussion question. I don’t have that. I don’t know where he sits and don’t know anything other than the timing of the accident got him within a pretty sensitive time frame of playing in this game this week, because we do need him.”
Williams, a defensive end who played college football at Ole Miss, was selected by the Cowboys in the second round in this year’s NFL Draft. He has played in 13 games this season and registered 20 tackles, eight tackles for loss, three sacks, seven quarterback hits, one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries. In his final season at Ole Miss last year, Williams was selected to the All-SEC First Team after he recorded 57 tackles and 10.5 sacks.
