Kevin Williams out 6-8 weeks
By the Associated Press
(Sept. 24, 1996)
IRVING - Dallas wide receiver Kevin Williams could miss 6-8 weeks
because of a foot injury suffered in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the
Buffalo Bills.
Williams, who has only caught 11 passes for 154 yards in four
games, severely sprained his right foot and suffered a hairline
fracture of a bone at the base of the ankle.
"That's a devastating loss to us," Dallas coach Barry
Switzer said Monday. "We were already depleted in that area.
Kevin also was a tremendous player for us on the special teams.
The doctors are saying he could be out six to eight weeks."
Kelvin Martin, the Cowboys' third down receiver, will start in
place of Williams against Philadelphia on Monday night. Rookie
Stepfret Williams will be the third-down receiver.
Michael Irvin, who has been suspended for five games, won't rejoin
the team until Oct. 13.
"We get Michael back, so we might not bring anybody in,"
Switzer said.
The Cowboys are off the week after the Philadelphia game.
