Cowboys announce defensive end Sam Williams suspended for 3 games dating back to 49ers game
Not even 24 hours removed from their latest loss, the Dallas Cowboys announced some more challenging news for their roster. It was revealed on Monday afternoon that defensive end Sam Williams is suspended for three games dating back to before the San Francisco 49ers game. Apparently the issue is related to before the start of last (as in 2023) season.
You will recall that Williams was arrested in August of 2023 on substance, weapons charges. It appears this is all connected to the suspension and the violation of the Personal Conduct Policy for the NFL.
Williams tore his ACL at the beginning of training camp this season and is therefore unavailable to the Cowboys to actually play, but is serving out his suspension nonetheless. As the three-game suspension dates back to before the 49ers game he must “miss” the contests against the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles before being eligible for reinstatement.
