| Footballguys view: Williams was sent to Dallas at the trade deadline last season in a deal with the New York Jets. In return, Dallas sent Mazzi Smith and a pair of draft picks away. The Jets first selected Williams with the No. 3 overall pick in 2019 out of Alabama, and he has earned four straight Pro-Bowl nods while dominating on the defensive line. He had 1.5 sacks and 21 total tackles in seven games with the Cowboys last season. |

New Orleans Saints DT Bryan Bresee (knee) is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: The Saints have enough depth on the defensive line to absorb this blow, but the 2023 first round pick was expected to play his best football yet going into his fourth season. With a trip to Detroit on tap to open the season, the Saints defense will see just how much they will miss Bresee right away. |
