Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Two sacks in opener
DeMarcus Lawrence recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's win over the Browns.Lawrence racked up four QB hits in total, part of a massive day for the Dallas Cowboys' pass rush that saw the unit pressure Deshaun Watson 25 times on 56 dropbacks, leading to six total sacks and 17 QB hits. The veteran defensive end hasn't had a season with double-digit sacks since 2018, but with offensive lines forced to key on Micah Parsons, Lawrence has a golden opportunity to turn back the clock in 2024.

Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Could see more work as pass rusher
DeMarcus Lawrence might see an uptick in sacks in 2024 with Sam Williams (knee) lost for the season and Dorance Armstrong now with Washington.Micah Parsons is still around for the Dallas Cowboys, but with the team's secondary cast of edge rushers thinned, Lawrence could see his responsibilities in that area increase under new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Armstrong and Williams combined for 12.0 sacks in 2023, while Lawrence managed just 4.0, but rookie second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland and free-agent signing Carl Lawson, who will begin the season on the practice squad, aren't likely to replace that lost production on their own. The 32-year-old Lawrence has become more of a run-stuffer in recent years and hasn't topped 6.5 sacks since 2018, so even with increased opportunities, his IDP ceiling is likely limited.

Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Quiet season off edge
DeMarcus Lawrence recorded 50 tackles (29 solo) including 4.0 sacks while adding six passes defended and a forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2023.The veteran defensive end played every game for the second straight campaign, but Lawrence just doesn't have the ability to get to the quarterback the way he used to. He would carry a dead cap hit of over $20 million if he were released this offseason, so Lawrence will likely return to Dallas in 2024, but he's nothing more than a depth piece in a pass rush led by Micah Parsons at this stage of his career.

Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Notches first 2023 sack
DeMarcus Lawrence recorded a sack in Sunday's 40-0 win over the Giants.The veteran defensive end hasn't compiled more than 6.5 sacks in a season since 2018, but Lawrence made his presence felt Sunday as the Dallas Cowboys' pass rush brought down Daniel Jones seven times in total.

Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Career-high tackle total
DeMarcus Lawrence recorded a career-high 65 tackles (43 solo), including six sacks, through 17 regular-season games in 2022. He added three passes defended, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown Week 5 against the Rams.With Micah Parsons now the main pass-rushing threat for the Dallas Cowboys, Lawrence found himself in more of a run-stuffing role, but he still can make an impact in the backfield. Three of his sacks on the season came Week 3 against the Giants, and he also collected one in the divisional-round loss to the 49ers. The 30-year-old has two more years remaining on his current contract, and cutting him would produce a massive dead-cap hit in 2023, so Lawrence figures to see similar usage again in coordinator Dan Quinn's defense next season.

DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) was a limited participant in the Dallas Cowboys' practice Thursday, Jordan Reid of ESPN.com reports.Lawrence has dealt with a foot injury the past four weeks that has yet to keep him sidelined for a game. As a result, he's been largely limited during practice over this span, and this trend has continued for the first two sessions Week 15. Lawrence has played between 60-70 percent of the Cowboys' defensive snaps over the past five games, and, barring any setbacks, he'll likely do so again Sunday against Jacksonville.
