Quinnen Williams: Everything you need to know

Williams had 53 tackles (26 solo), including 2.5 sacks, as well as one interception and three forced fumbles over 15 regular-season games between the Bengals and the Cowboys in 2025. Williams was traded from the Jets to the Cowboys at the trade deadline. The defensive tackle managed to accumulate 1.5 of his 2.5 sacks and his interception in the seven games he was with the new team. The 28-year-old has one more year under contract, and he is set to spend the 2026 season alongside defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa.

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

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