The worst was confirmed late on Sunday. Sam Williams, the third-year edge rusher who was competing for a key role in the Dallas Cowboys defensive line rotation, has been lost for the season. The Ole Miss product crumpled in a heap during a special teams drill during the club’s fourth practice of 2024 training camp and was taken off the field on a cart in Oxnard, CA. He was taken for an MRI, which revealed both an ACL and an MCL tear, leaving Williams out for the season.
While the Pacific Ocean breeze keeps thing comfortable for the club in Oxnard, a far cry from the scorching summer heat in Texas, the Cowboys still find themselves in AC Hell.

Here’s a look at the five players who have suffered the injury and the details of each.
