Cowboys Lineman Out

IRVING, Texas () -- Dallas Cowboys star offensive lineman Erik Williams was hurt in a car accident that likely will sideline him until next year.


Williams sustained a damaged right knee in an early-morning accident Monday, as well as a broken rib, torn ligaments in his left thumb and facial lacerations that required plastic surgery. An MRI test on the knee indicated two medial collateral and posterior cruciate ligaments and a torn muscle. A decision regarding knee surgery will be made after four to six weeks.


The only good news for the Cowboys following their 28-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals was the status of quarterback Troy Aikman, who suffered a concussion in the first quarter. Tests were negative and Aikman said he would play Sunday against Cincinnati.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
