Cowboys news: Sam Williams arrest won’t affect playing status for now

Cowboys defensive end got himself in trouble with the law.

Just a few days after the arrest of defensive end Sam Williams, Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones said he doesn’t believe it will affect the team on the field this year.

“I don’t anticipate this impacting his time on the field,” Jones said to reporters on Wednesday at The Star. “And I do have all the details. There are some lessons to be learned there for everybody.”

The second-year defensive end was arrested on Sunday by Frisco police on charges of possession of a controlled substance and unlawfully carrying of a weapon, according to reports.
