The Cowboys will welcome Quinnen Williams to their defensive line for Monday night’s game against the Raiders, but they are expected to play without an older member of the group.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Saturday that defensive tackle Solomon Thomas was unlikely to play. Thomas, who was also Williams’ teammate on the Jets, is dealing with a calf injury.

Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson are expected to debut with the Cowboys after being acquired in trades before the Nov. 4 deadline. They should also get several players back after long absences.
Schottenheimer said safety Malik Hooker (toe) had a tendency to play. Hooker is on injured reserve, so a roster move will have to be made for him to play Monday. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and cornerback Shavon Revel were activated earlier this week, so there will be a different look on the defense in several areas.
Safety Donovan Wilson (elbow) is also moving in the right direction to be available for the Cowboys on Monday. Wilson last played in Week 7.
