Through much of the NFL offseason, there has been a significant amount of attention directed toward the Dallas Cowboys group of wide receivers. One of which is veteran wideout Terrance Williams, who had chosen to undergo surgery to repair a broken back in February.
Although Williams is expected to miss a sizeable chunk of the offseason team workouts due to the injury, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett stated on Tuesday that the veteran wideout has continued to head down the right track in his rehab from the operation, according to Charean Wiliams of Pro Football Talk.

He’s been working on the side with our trainers and our strength coaches. It seems like he’s on schedule to do everything that everyone anticipates him to be able to do. He’s in good spirits. I think he’s just waiting and waiting for that chance to get back out there. But he’s certainly engaged, and he’s doing all the right things.”
There is still plenty of time for Williams get himself physically prepared to make his return to the field at some point over the next few months. The fact that he has continued to progress in his recovery from the injury is a promising sign. The Cowboys are hoping that he could step up in an increased role next season while building off his productive 2017 campaign where he had 58 receptions for 568 receiving yards in 16 games played.
If Williams is hindered in any manner, it could the Cowboys look elsewhere at the position to garner dependability in the passing game with the likes of Allen Hurns, Deonte Thompson, Cole Beasley, and rookie Michael Gallup. Each of these players could foreseeably step up in a large role in the passing game.
Nonetheless, Williams' progression in his recovery should signal that he will be back on the field at some point this offseason ahead of the 2018 campaign.
