Dallas Cowboys’ safety Roy Williams will miss roughly four weeks after fracturing his forearm during Monday night’s 42-37 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Jerry Jones said Roy Williams suffered a spiral fracture in his forearm and will miss about four weeks. That means Pat Watkins, who was playing in the nickel and dime packages, will start at strong safety for the next month.
While he’ll be missed in run defense, Williams has never been a factor against the pass. In fact, the Cowboys usually take Williams off the field in obvious passing downs and use three cornerbacks. Still, Dallas will certainly miss him in run defense seeing as how he was basically an extra linebacker.
