3 Takeaways From the NFL's Christmas Tripleheader

Is Quinnen Williams playing on Christmas? Cowboys DT status set for Week 17 Dallas Cowboys DT Quinnen Williams has been dealing with a neck injury, leaving him a game-time decision for Christmas Day.

3 DAYS AGO • SI.COM

Available for Christmas matchup Williams (concussion) is active for Thursday's Week 17 battle against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Williams did not play last Sunday against the Chargers due to a concussion. He's since cleared the NFL's five-step protocol and is good to go for Christmas Day. Williams should take on his usual starting role that has resulted in 1.5 sacks since he joined the Cowboys in mid-November (though that entire sack total came in his team debut).

Could play in Week 17 Williams (concussion) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Alabama product practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and must still clear concussion protocol in order to play in the Week 17 divisional matchup. Since being dealt from the Jets to the Cowboys in early November, Williams has recorded 16 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and one interception across five contests. If he's sidelined Thursday, expect Kenny Clark to have an expanded role on Dallas' defensive line.

4 Takeaways From the Chargers' Win Over the Cowboys

Inactive for Week 16 Williams (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact 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.

Dealing with neck issue Williams is now dealing with a neck injury but remains questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact The 28-year-old is dealing with a neck injury and remains in concussion protocol, so it appears unlikely that he'll be able 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.

DECEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged as questionable Week 16 Williams (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Working through concussion Williams (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Williams cleared the third step of the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Thursday by being cleared for non-contact practice. If the defensive tackle hopes to play Sunday, he will have to practice Friday and be cleared by an independent neurologist. If Williams can not be cleared of his concussion in time for Sunday's game, Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas would be in line for expanded roles on the Cowboys' defensive line.

DECEMBER 18 • Associated Press

Dealing with concussion Williams (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Williams is dealing with a concussion that he suffered late in the team's Week 15 loss to the Vikings, and his absence at practice to open the week doesn't come as a surprise. The defensive lineman will have to clear concussion protocol and therefore is fighting an uphill battle to being available for Week 16. Williams will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's contest against the Chargers.
