Williams (foot) recently had a workout with the Bills, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was cut by the Cowboys in February after a rough 2018 in which he played only three games due to a suspension and foot injury. The 29-year-old played only 39 snaps last season after catching 53 passes for 568 yards and zero touchdowns in 2017.

Williams (foot) has been cut loose by the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams made it through two seasons of a four-year, $17 million contract, receiving a $5 million signing bonus and $4.5 million in guaranteed base salaries, per overthecap.com. The Cowboys didn't get much of a return, with Williams posting a 53-568-0 receiving line on 78 targets (7.3 YPT) in 2017, then playing just three games in 2018 while dealing with a suspension and foot injury. The 29-year-old should regain his health at some point this offseason, but his days as an NFL starter may be numbered. The Cowboys will move forward with Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup locked in as the starting wide receivers outside.

Williams (foot) finished the 2018 season with two catches for 18 yards in three games.

EDGE Analysis

Williams struggled through a foot injury and an arrest during the offseason, with both issues eventually coming back to bite him -- first in the form of an injury aggravation and later a three-game suspension. He has two seasons remaining on a four-year, $17 million contract, but there's little-to-no chance he stays in Dallas unless he accepts a sizable pay cut. Even then, the Cowboys might prefer to move in another direction, perhaps bringing in draft picks or free agents to complement Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup. The 29-year-old Williams has 68 career starts to his name, but he doesn't offer much in the way of upside and can no loner be viewed as reliable. He should at least have time to get healthy before training camp in 2019.

Williams (foot) isn't expected to be activated from IR, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has had an interesting 2018, to say the least. He kicked off last offseason with surgery to repair a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot, which lingered into the regular season and eventually forced him to injured reserve after just three appearances. In the middle of it all, he was suspended three games due to a May arrest for public intoxication. It remains to be seen if Williams will be a part of the Cowboys' plans beyond this season, but the team could get out of the final two years of his current contract with fairly minimal cap hits by releasing him.

Williams' three-game suspension for a violation of the policy on substances of abuse has been lifted, but the wide receiver remains on injured reserve due to a right foot injury, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Williams underwent foot surgery in the offseason, a stretch that included a May arrest for public intoxication. While his legal woes were settled in early August, the NFL investigated the matter and handed down a ban for the current campaign. Along the way, Williams made just three brief appearances before the Cowboys placed him on injured reserve on Oct. 6. It's unclear where he stands in his recovery effort, but he's eligible to come off IR as early as Week 14 against the Eagles.

Williams (foot) is facing a suspension for the first three weeks of the 2019 season, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cowboys placed Williams on injured reserve earlier this month, and because the foot issue is already expected to sideline him for the rest of the season, the three-game ban will roll over to 2019. It's unclear what exactly is at the root of the suspension, but it's worth noting that the wideout was arrested back in May for public intoxication and had missed practices for an unspecified off-the-field issue prior to aggravating a foot injury that previously required offseason surgery. Though Williams is on the Cowboys' books through 2020, it wouldn't be surprising if he never played another down for the club given the pending suspension and the lack of development he has shown since signing his second contract with the team in March 2017.

The Cowboys placed Williams (foot) on injured reserve Saturday, Kate Hairopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams' sixth season in Dallas will come to a premature end after he just missed the first game of his career. He was considered a healthy inactive in last week's game against the Lions, but it was later learned he sat out for personal reasons as well as complications from surgically repaired right foot. The 29-year-old will now set his sights on a 2019 return. He caught just two balls for 18 yards in three games this season.

Williams (foot) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Jon Machota of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the second straight game Williams misses. He's been rarely used on offense with just three targets in three appearances, catching two for 18 yards. His absence won't be felt in the fantasy realm.

Williams (foot) was absent from practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was given the day off Wednesday for unspecified off-the-field issues, but complications from offseason surgery on his right foot were cited as the impetus for Thursday's DNP. Through four games, he's missed one game and averaged 13 offensive snaps in the others. With that knowledge, there's no telling when he next will be available to the Cowboys offense.

Williams was present at the Cowboys' facility Thursday but won't participate in practice, Kate Hairopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dallas labeled Williams as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice for non-injury-related reasons, but coach Jason Garrett acknowledged Thursday that the wideout is working through an issue with his surgically repaired right foot. It's unclear if the foot issue will result in Williams gaining a formal injury designation when Thursday's practice report is released, but in any case, it's looking unlikely that he'll suit up Week 5 in Houston. Williams was a healthy inactive ahead of Sunday's 26-24 win over the Lions, with Brice Butler replacing him as the Cowboys' No. 6 receiver in the contest.
