Williams (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Williams entered the league's concussion protocol following the Cowboys' Week 15 loss to the Vikings. He was able to end Week 16 prep with a full practice Friday, but he has not progressed enough to be cleared to play Sunday. Solomon Thomas and Kenny Clark will take on expanded roles on the defensive line in Williams' absence.

Williams is dealing with a neck injury in addition to being in concussion protocol but remains questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports. The 28-year-old appears unlikely to suit up Sunday despite his questionable designation. If Williams is sidelined for the Week 16 matchup, Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas will likely both have expanded roles on Dallas' defensive line.

Williams (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Williams put together a DNP-LP-FP practice log while in the league's concussion protocol, which he would have to clear in order to be available for Sunday's game. Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas would be the top candidates to start alongside Osa Odighizuwa at defensive tackle if Williams is not cleared to play in Week 16.

Williams recorded four total tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Monday night's 33-16 win over Las Vegas. Williams made his presence known in his debut with Dallas, combining with Kenny Clark to sack Geno Smith in the first quarter before later adding a full sack on Smith in the second. The defensive tackle hadn't registered a sack since Week 1 with the Jets, so his ability to hit the ground running with the Cowboys is significant. Williams is now up to 36 total tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, plus three forced fumbles over nine games this year.

Williams is active for Monday's game against the Raiders. Williams will make his debut with the Cowboys and is expected to be a "full go" during Monday night's contest, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The Cowboys acquired Williams from the Jets in early November, and the three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle will work alongside Kenny Clark, Donovan Ezeiruaku, Dante Fowler and others on the defensive line. Williams accumulated 32 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three forced fumbles in eight regular-season games as a member of the Jets.
