The Dallas Cowboys have taken a step forward over the last couple of weeks earning a pair of wins two out of their past three games that has pushed them split their first month of action.
However, it has seen a notable absence from wide receiver Terrance Williams as he missed the first game of his career last Sunday against the Detriot Lions. According to Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Star-Telegram, Williams has continued to be out of practice due to a foot issue.

Williams missed practice last Friday and was not present for last Sunday’s 26-24 victory against the Detroit Lions dealing with personal issues. He returned for meetings on Tuesday but didn’t practice Wednesday, per coach Jason Garrett because he is working through a myriad of off the field issues.
Although his absence from Week 4 action was due to off-the-field issues stemming from his arrest back in May due to public intoxication that came from fleeing his car that had hit a pole, it appears that he has health concerns. Williams has proven to be quite a durable player throughout his career, but it appears that he is dealing with an injury that could lead to him being out of action once again.
The 29-year-old has been able to take the field for the first three games this season but has struggled to produce hauling in just two catches on three targets for 18 receiving yards. He has been off to a slow start out of the gate that has been compounded by his foot injury and the off-the-field matter that will likely lead to a suspension levied down by the league at some point.
If he is out of action for another game, the Cowboys will look to lean on the other receiving options such as Cole Beasley, Allen Hurns, Micheal Gallup, and Ezekiel Elliott.
