Sam Williams has been suspended for three games without pay for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, with the suspension starting during the Cowboys' recent loss to the 49ers. He is currently on injured reserve due to a torn ACL and partially torn MCL sustained in training camp, which has sidelined him for the season. Williams, a second-round pick in the 2022 draft, was projected to start at defensive end but will be eligible for reinstatement on November 11, after the Cowboys' Week 10 game against the Eagles. Last season, he finished third on the team with 4.5 sacks.
