Wilson was projected to be a starter for the Cowboys this upcoming season. He made a few starts last season, but he was expected to have a much bigger role in 2017. He is entering his third season in the league after playing for Minnesota in college. He was drafted by the Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
The team hasn't released any more details about Wilson's arrest.
