Dallas Cowboys Seek New Offensive Player After Sam Williams’ ACL Injury.
In the wake of defensive player Sam Williams’ ACL injury, the Dallas Cowboys are urgently searching for a new offensive player. This news broke during a training session held with the hope of finding his replacement.
Head coach Mike McCarthy’s team fears the worst after Williams’ injury was revealed. With a lack of star power in the lineup outside of Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb, and Micah Parsons, the Cowboys’ fan turnout for the first padded practice was noticeably sparse.
On Wednesday, reporter Todd Archer disclosed that the Cowboys are actively seeking candidates to replace Williams. This news comes at a critical time as the Cowboys need to fill the void left by Williams’ absence.

Archer’s report indicates that the Cowboys are considering several offensive players, including veteran Carl Lawson, as potential replacements for Williams. Lawson, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals and was a fourth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, is among the top candidates. With the season fast approaching, it will be challenging for the Cowboys to find someone who can fully match Williams’ potential.
Quarterback Dak Prescott may have to throw the ball more frequently if Williams is unable to play much this season, as the Cowboys could find themselves trailing on the scoreboard early on. This shift in strategy could significantly impact the team’s performance and game plan.
Fans have reacted to the news of Sam Williams’ injury with skepticism and concern.
“Get it right, Todd, regarding Lawson. Zimmer was ahead of Lawson in Cincy,” one fan commented.
“Dollar Tree signing,” another fan added. “I think he knew injuries were going to happen.”
The absence of Sam Williams will undoubtedly leave a significant gap in the Cowboys’ defense. Micah Parsons may have to step up if Williams is unable to play, and Dak Prescott may need to deliver the best season of his career with the Dallas Cowboys.
Mike McCarthy’s team is under more scrutiny than any other in the NFL, and the time is nearing to see what they are truly capable of as the season is just over a month away. With many uncertainties on both sides of the ball, the situation in Dallas has become even more unclear following this news.
