PRO FOOTBALL : DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NFL : Cowboys’ Williams, Richards Sit Out

The Dallas Cowboys put defensive back Robert Williams and running back Curvin Richards on injured reserve.

Coach Jimmy Johnson said Williams will probably be out four weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Richards could miss about three weeks to give his kidney, which was injured during the exhibition season, a chance to heal.

Chuck Cecil, Green Bay Packer safety, faces two disorderly conduct charges after a scuffle with a restaurant owner and an incident at a Green Bay police station, police said.

Police said a dispute over a bill escalated to a scuffle with the restaurant’s owner, Vern Andrews. Cecil had a bloody nose and Andrews had a shoulder injury from the fight. Officers said Cecil, who was to appear in court today, refused to give his fingerprints and allow a mug shot to be taken at the police station, prompting the second count to be issued.
