The defensive end was taken to the hospital as a precaution, Plano police reported.

Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams was involved in a car crash Thursday afternoon in Plano, Texas, and was taken to the hospital shortly after, per CBS DFW.

The crash occurred around 2:15 p.m. when another driver attempted to turn left while traveling northbound and subsequently hit Williams’s vehicle as he was headed southbound.

While Williams and the other driver were both taken to a local hospital, it is reported that both drivers only had minor injuries and the hospital visit was more for “precaution,” police said.
