Williams remained on the field for a few minutes as he was attended by the Cowboys\u2019 medical staff. Sam could not put any weight on his left leg as he got on a cart and was carted off the field.<\/p>\n<p>After the session, owner and GM Jerry Jones claimed, &#8220;It doesn\u2019t look good,&#8221; before the player headed off for an MRI.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas was relying on Sam being a crucial part of their pass rush behind DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons.
