Jerry Jones: Connor Williams on track to start week one

Jerry Jones provided an injury update for former UT player Connor Williams. He is expected be healthy for Week One of the 2020 season.

Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager was recently on SiriusXM talking about former Longhorns offensive lineman Connor Williams. The soon to be third-year guard only played 11 games this past season due to a torn ACL suffered against the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving.

Jones said Williams was 13 weeks removed from surgery on his knee. He added that the offensive lineman has even begun on-field exercises. Most importantly, Jones said Williams will be able to reach his goal of starting in Week One of the 2020 NFL season.

The offensive line has recently become an interesting unit for the Cowboys, with Travis Fredricks retiring this past week. With the center position now open, Dallas will have questions surrounding who will be playing where next season.

As for Williams, he played in 100% of the offensive snaps before suffering his injury against Buffalo. With the track he is on post-surgery, keeping that consistency at guard for the Cowboys will be crucial for a team about to pay their quarterback nearly $40 million.
