Cowboys’ Williams hurts shoulder in practice
Receiver injured on collision at goal line, will have X-rays

updated 14 minutes ago

ARLINGTON, Texas - On a night meant for showing off their team and their stadium, the Dallas Cowboys provided a bit more excitement than intended Thursday night.

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.

Immediately after the workout, coach Wade Phillips said he had no information about Williams’ status, later adding, “I don’t know that he’s injured. Just wait and see.”

“He banged his shoulder a little bit and we’re checking on him,” Phillips said. “I imagine they’re going to X-ray it and we’re going to see.”

If Scandrick was a little too aggressive for a practice conducted in helmets but no pads, he might have a good excuse: There were 26,460 fans watching. The video boards were in full use and there was even a halftime performance by cheerleaders, giving it a far different feel than any other helmet-and-no-pads workout.

“It’s football,” linebacker Bradie James said. “I mean, sometimes people run into each other. Hopefully that’s all it is.”

Fans were let in for free, but paid $10 to park. The concession stands likely did brisk business, too.

Anyone hoping to see punter Mat McBriar hit the video boards went home disappointed. He took about 25 kicks and not a single one reached the world’s largest high-definition televisions.

McBriar said no one told him to avoid it. He simply never kicks the ball straight up down the middle of the field and he’s not interested in trying just for grins.

“I don’t want to get away from what I’m used to doing,” he said.

I hope it's not a serious injury and he will be ready to go by the start of the regular season. It's got to be frustrating to be injured by your own teamate.(Although I'm sure it wasn't intentional)

Some sources are saying it's a broken collarbone . I hope that's wrong. We are so screwed now if this is serious.

Oh Boy! If it is a collarbone he will be out for a long time. I agree with you Sonny I hope this information is wrong.

The X-Rays just came back and they were negative. It looks like it's a sprain. He's going to have an MRI tomorrow. He could still miss some games though. I sprained my shoulder a couple years ago and it didn't heal for about 6 weeks. Some of the media went crazy without knowing anything as usual. It was great drama over on the Cowboy board though. Some fans wanted us to get that woman beater Brandon Marshall from Denver.

Well at least they weren't asking for T.O. back! I'm glad the injury is only a sprain. I hope it heals quickly. Thanks for the update Sonny.
