Williams had 53 tackles (26 solo), including 2.5 sacks, as well as one interception and three forced fumbles over 15 regular-season games between the Bengals and the Cowboys in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was traded from the Jets to the Cowboys at the trade deadline. The defensive tackle managed to accumulate 1.5 of his 2.5 sacks and his interception in the seven games he was with the new team. The 28-year-old has one more year under contract, and he is set to spend the 2026 season alongside defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa.

Williams (concussion) is active for Thursday's Week 17 battle against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams did not play Sunday against the Chargers due to a concussion. He's since cleared the NFL's five-step protocol and is good to go for Christmas Day. Williams should take on his usual starting role that has resulted in 1.5 sacks since he joined the Cowboys in mid-November (though that entire sack total came in his team debut).

Williams (concussion) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Alabama product practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and must still clear concussion protocol in order to play in the Week 17 divisional matchup. Since being dealt from the Jets to the Cowboys in early November, Williams has recorded 16 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and one interception across five contests. If he's sidelined Thursday, expect Kenny Clark to have an expanded role on Dallas' defensive line.

Williams (concussion) was estimated as limited on Monday's practice report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams missed Sunday's win over the Chargers but practiced fully last Friday, suggesting he's nearing a return to action. Dallas is on a short week this week ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Commanders.

Williams (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Williams entered the league's concussion protocol following the Cowboys' Week 15 loss to the Vikings. He was able to end Week 16 prep with a full practice Friday, but he has not progressed enough to be cleared to play Sunday. Solomon Thomas and Kenny Clark will take on expanded roles on the defensive line in Williams' absence.

Williams is dealing with a neck injury in addition to being in concussion protocol but remains questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old appears unlikely to suit up Sunday despite his questionable designation. If Williams is sidelined for the Week 16 matchup, Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas will likely both have expanded roles on Dallas' defensive line.

Williams (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams put together a DNP-LP-FP practice log while in the league's concussion protocol, which he would have to clear in order to be available for Sunday's game. Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas would be the top candidates to start alongside Osa Odighizuwa at defensive tackle if Williams is not cleared to play in Week 16.

Williams (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams cleared the third step of the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Thursday by being cleared for non-contact practice. If the defensive tackle hopes to play Sunday, he will have to practice Friday and be cleared by an independent neurologist. If Williams can not be cleared of his concussion in time for Sunday's game, Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas would be in line for expanded roles on the Cowboys' defensive line.

Williams (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is dealing with a concussion that he suffered late in the team's Week 15 loss to the Vikings, and his absence at practice to open the week doesn't come as a surprise. The defensive lineman will have to clear concussion protocol and therefore is fighting an uphill battle to being available for Week 16. Williams will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

Williams recorded four total tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Monday night's 33-16 win over Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Williams made his presence known in his debut with Dallas, combining with Kenny Clark to sack Geno Smith in the first quarter before later adding a full sack on Smith in the second. The defensive tackle hadn't registered a sack since Week 1 with the Jets, so his ability to hit the ground running with the Cowboys is significant. Williams is now up to 36 total tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also adding three forced fumbles over nine games this year.
