Quick update on the practice out at Cowboys Stadium, read here.
During practice, Roy Williams went down after being hit by Scandrick (supposedly no contact) and has left the field with a shoulder injury.
Oh boy. Of course will update as we know more.
Oh yeah, on DCFanatic Radio tonight. Be back live tomorrow at 10pm est.

This is from NBC Sports, read here.
Receiver Roy Williams injured his left shoulder on a goal-line collision with cornerback Orlando Scandrick. Williams was down for longer than normal, then was examined by athletic trainers and shouted in anger as he headed into the locker room before the workout ended.
Williams might’ve been upset because he and Scandrick keep getting tangled up. During training camp, Scandrick — who is battling Mike Jenkins for a starting job — hit Williams hard enough to knock his helmet off (the chin strap wasn’t buckled) and was covering Williams again on a play when Williams landed hard and sprained his wrist. The Cowboys are counting on Williams to replace Terrell Owens as Tony Romo’s top target.
I shouldn't speculate and I hope it's just a bump or a bruise.
Not good that Roy was barking as he was leaving the field.
Here's more from Wade and a few players who were at practice, read here.
"I don’t know anything about Roy. He banged his shoulder a little bit, and they’re checking on him," said Phillips. "I imagine they’re going to X-ray it and we’ll see."
When asked if he'd be concerned if he lost Williams for an extended period, Phillips said, "We don’t know anything about Roy, so don’t speculate."
And while we're at it, some player reaction:
Bradie James: "It’s football, and sometimes you run into each other. Hopefully that’s all it is. We’ll see what the prognosis is later."
Keith Brooking: "Well, I mean that’s just the nature of this business. Things like that happen, and it probably happens a lot more than you guys realize among teammates, but the things that we say all the time, Wade emphasizes it and all the leaders emphasize it, that you don’t ever take it off the field. Things happen. Testosterone starts flowing and especially the dog days of camp. It’s been a long time. We’re ready to play somebody for real. You kind of get frustrated at times with your teammates, but when that happens, you leave it on the field and that’s it. You never take it in the locker room; you never take if off this field right here between the lines. That’s something we do a very good job at."
