The Cowboys signed Lawson on Monday. Lawson worked out with the Cowboys in late July, and after a successful tryout, the team has agreed to terms with the veteran pass rusher. The 29-year-old most recently played with the Jets, recording five total tackles across six regular-season contests in 2023. Expect Lawson to compete for a depth role in the Cowboys' pass-rushing corps during upcoming practices and the final preseason game.

Lawson is scheduled to work out with the Cowboys on Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. The Cowboys are working out several pass rushers after Sam Williams sustained a season-ending torn ACL injury in his left knee during Sunday's practice session. Lawson played for the Jets in 2023, though he appeared in just six regular-season games while dealing with a back injury, and he finished the season with just five tackles (two solo). Lawson's most productive campaign came in 2022 with the Jets, when he recorded 33 tackles (18 solo), including 7.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games.

Lawson (coach's decision) is out Sunday against the Broncos, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports. The backup defensive end dealt with a back issue in training camp and ended up missing Week 1. Lawson has played in three games since then and has made three tackles.

Lawson (ankle) was a full participant during the Jets' practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Lawson popped up as a limited participant on the Jets' injury report Wednesday after playing a season-high 73 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 5. However, the 27-year-old appears to have moved past this unspecified ankle issue after returning to practice in full Thursday. Lawson has recorded eight tackles, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble so far this season, and he should play a prominent pass-rushing role during Sunday's game against the Packers.

Lawson (ankle) was limited during Wednesday's practice. Lawson played a season-high 73 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps in Week 5 and recorded a sack for a second consecutive contest, but it appears the fifth-year pass rusher picked up an ankle injury as well. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but the Jets will likely be cautious with Lawson, who's returning from a season-ending Achilles injury he suffered last year. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against Green Bay.
