Williams injury hanging over team: The only thing that dampened the Cowboys' spirits Saturday was seeing safety Roy Williams limp out of the locker room.
Williams will have X-rays on his left ankle after injuring it during an interception return early in the fourth quarter.
Panthers receiver Keary Colbert's hard tackle from behind resembled the horse-collar tackle that the league banned, in part, because Williams injured so many players with it. After the game, he tried to remain positive, but the Cowboys know what a high ankle sprain would mean.
Running back Julius Jones spent over a month trying to come back from a high ankle sprain earlier in the season. Williams is the most dynamic player on the defense and losing him would hamper an already thin position.
Trainers refused to speculate on the severity of Williams' injury, but the Cowboys should have a definitive answer by at least Monday.
Williams' replacement, Willie Pile, was burned on Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme's 35-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Proehl with 2:32 left in the game.

I hope the resigning of Dixon isn't a bad sign about Roy.

From the latest article on ***BANNED-URL***
The Cowboys also re-signed safety Tony Dixon on Monday as a precaution for the left ankle injury that Roy Williams suffered against the Panthers.
Williams said he wouldn't practice today, but should be able to return by Wednesday. Williams was injured when Panthers receiver Keary Colbert tackled him from behind on an interception return early in the fourth quarter.
