Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez 43m
I wouldn't look for Romo, Dez, Miles, Murray, Witten on Sunday. Ware or Lee either.

Terrance Williams leaving the field. Back of his head hit hard when he got pushed down in a coverage drill.

Honestly, i wouldn't play any key players. Starters maybe a series or two.

 

[CATCH17]

Of course he does

It's about that time when our rookie class starts getting whiped out.

Be thankful we're deep at WR and this happened early. T Will is a guy we know is going to make the team anyway, so we have more reps to evaluate guys like Rogers and Benfield now.. when he's not crashing into fences, anyway.

 

[AsthmaField]

He should be able to practice with it after a couple days of rest... just not play. As long as he's not in a situation where he can get hit, he should be able to go.

Nice to have 5 preseason games this year and a long preseason.

 

[TheCount]

This is exactly the type of game he should have been seeing a lot of reps in so that's a shame.

While this is true, we still need TWill to be ready in case he needs to step into a #3WR role starting position. He needs reps.

What a bummer. Was really looking forward to watching him.

Im not sure i would consider the #3 receiver a starter, but we do have Harris and Beasley as well, who both seem more than capable. I mean, im not glad he got injured obviously, just trying to point out that its not too big a deal at this time.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

I doubt there will be much of an aerial show from Dallas anyway given that most of the OL will be scrubs,,, of course that didn't stop us last year, so who knows?

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Jesus Christ, do we have to whine about the OL in EVERY thread?

 

[Idgit]

What a bummer. Was really looking forward to watching him.

Me, too.

....do we have to whine about the OL in EVERY thread?

Yes.

 

[Tabascocat]

I wouldn't consider Williams a key player who has a guaranteed spot in the rotation. This is where he needs to show the coaches what he can do. For all we know, he may be behind in the speed of the NFL game.

So, he misses one, maybe two games. The following three are important for him IMO. Rookies need all the work they can get, can only accomplish so much in practice.

 

[Section446]

******, we just can't catch a break.

 

[lwehlers]

I was really looking forward to seeing Williams play tomorrow night.

 

[Risen Star]

I hate that it's a concussion. Bad news.

We would like to see him play but no it's not a big deal because he's virtual lock to make the roster. It gives us a chance to see a couple of the undrafted prospects get a shot... Guys who aren't expected to make the roster but could with a good preseason under their belts.

 

[SDCowboy]

Dang. With the main guys out, he was the on player I cared about watching in the HOF game. Better to play it safe though.

 

[xwalker]

How did he get a concussion in a non-tackle practice?
