Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams is on the mend after undergoing surgery on a broken foot, ESPN’s Todd Archer reports.
Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams is recovering from a broken foot that required surgery, according to sources. Executive vice president Stephen Jones did not elaborate on the nature of Williams' injury but said Williams would miss some time during the offseason.
Williams, 28, is a former third-round pick by the Cowboys in 2013. He has been one of the most durable players on Dallas' team, playing in 80 out of a possible 80 regular-season games (with 66 starts) during his first five years in the league.
After signing a four-year, $17 million contract last offseason, Williams had a somewhat disappointing year in 2017. Although he caught 53 passes for 568 yards, which was second on the team behind Dez Bryant, he did not have a single touchdown reception all season for the first time in his career. He had averaged five touchdown catches in his first four seasons.
While Williams is expected to miss the start of the team’s offseason workouts, he’ll likely be ready to go for the start of the new season barring any unforeseen setbacks.
Williams is expected to be part of a somewhat revamped Cowboys receiving corps next season. Along with Williams and Cole Beasley, Bryant is another holdover in that group despite uncertainty about his future.
However, the Cowboys have already signed two receivers in Deonte Thompson and Allen Hurns in free agency and could target another wideout in the first round of the draft.
