There are a couple major no-nos here that Wilson is being accused of. First off, he produced a gun. Secondly, he hit a woman with his truck.
In addition to any legal ramifications that may stem from this, the NFL will surely be looking into this matter. Serious discipline could be forthcoming on both fronts for Wilson, who had been making a strong impression this offseason for the Cowboys, earning first-team reps during practices.
Wilson started five games last year for the ‘Boys. Originally a fourth-round pick out of Minnesota, he was most definitely a player the Cowboys were banking on to produce in a big way. Now that’s definitely a huge question mark.
