  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Not ready to practice

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that Lawrence (foot) will not be designated for return from injured reserve this week, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Lawrence has been on IR since Oct. 2 and has missed the mandatory four games, but the defensive end hasn't yet made enough progress in his recovery from a right foot sprain to practice. Whenever Lawrence is designated for return from IR, the Cowboys will have 21 days to evaluate him before he would need to added back to the 53-man roster.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Moves to IR

    Lawrence (foot) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Lawrence's move to IR was expected and reported by David Moore of The Dallas Morning News on Monday. The veteran pass rusher was expected to need roughly four weeks to recover from a mid-foot sprain, so his placement on injured reserve makes sense.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: IR stint planned

    Lawrence (foot) is expected to be placed on injured reserve sometime this week, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports. Lawrence going on IR would be a rational expectation considering Friday's report that he suffered a mid-foot sprain and would need at least four weeks to recover. Assuming he does land on IR, he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games, so the timelines correlate. Moore also reports that the team plans to elevate Carl Lawson from the practice squad before this Sunday's matchup with the Steelers to bolster the Cowboys' depth on the edges with Lawrence likely out.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Set for extended absence

    Lawrence (foot) is expected to be out at least four weeks with a midfoot sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Lawrence is a prime candidate to be placed on injured reserve, and he's expected to be reevaluated after four weeks. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that he considers Lawrence's injury to be worse than that of Micah Parsons (ankle), who was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain. Chauncey Golston and Marshawn Kneeland are two candidates to see an increase in workload on the defensive line moving forward.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Estimated as limited Monday

    Lawrence (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. The 32-year-old defensive end played 49 defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles during Sunday's loss to the Ravens, but he appears to have suffered a shoulder injury in the process. Lawrence's participation Tuesday and Wednesday will provide a better indication of his possible availability for Week 4, as the Cowboys take on the Giants on Thursday night.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Notches first 2023 sack

    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 Cowboys' pass rush brought down Daniel Jones seven times in total. With Micah Parsons commanding so much attention from blockers, Lawrence could find plenty of clear paths to the QB in 2023.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Career-high tackle total

    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 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.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: No injury designation

    Lawrence doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Across 13 appearances, the veteran defensive end has totaled 53 tackles, six sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery, which he returned for a touchdown.

Lawrence was a limited participant with a foot injury to start Week 13 prep as well, but he suited up against the Colts and played 69 percent of the team's defensive snaps.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Doesn't practice Tuesday

    Lawrence sat out the Cowboys' practice Tuesday, and he is listed as having an illness in addition to a foot injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Lawrence has been dealing with a foot injury since last week, though he was able to play through the issue and record his sixth sack of the season in Sunday's victory over Minnesota. He was labeled as DNP for Monday's estimated practice before sitting out Tuesday, and the new mention of an illness casts doubt on his ability to take the field against the Giants in Week 12. It doesn't help that the Cowboys have a short week, as they're scheduled for their traditional contest on Thanksgiving Day.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Sits out practice Monday

    Lawrence (foot) was listed as a DNP on the Cowboys' injury report Monday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Lawrence popped up with what was labeled as a minor foot injury last Wednesday. While the 30-year-old was considered questionable heading into Sunday's 40-3 win over the Vikings, he was ultimately able to suit up and recorded two tackles, including one sack. Lawrence's 23 defensive snaps Week 11 did mark a season low for the defensive end, though this was likely due to the blowout nature of the contest. The Pro Bowler will have two more practices to increase his activity before Dallas' matchup against the Giants on Thanksgiving Day.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Collects fifth sack

    Lawrence recorded seven tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's overtime loss to the Packers. Four different Cowboys tied for the team lead with seven tackles, but Lawrence was the only one to chip in a sack as well. The veteran defensive end has five sacks through nine games, giving him a shot at his first season with double digits since 2018, and with 42 tackles, he's already on pace to shatter his previous career high of 64 in that category.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Limited with chest injury

    Lawrence (chest) was listed as a limited participant on the Cowboys' injury report Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. It was previously reported that Lawrence was dealing with a rib injury following Dallas' win over the Rams on Sunday, though he was listed with a chest issue on Wednesday's practice report. While the exact nature and severity of this issue are unclear, it's possible the Cowboys are taking every precaution with the 30-year-old defensive end, as he played his second lowest defensive snaps of the season in Week 5. Lawrence will have two more practices to improve his injury status before Sunday's divisional matchup with the Eagles.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Limited in walkthrough

    Lawrence (foot) was listed as a limited participant on the Cowboys' injury report Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Lawrence temporarily exited Monday's win over the Giants to be examined for a foot injury, though he later returned and logged six tackles with three sacks. However, the 30-year-old's foot continued to ail him during Dallas' limited practice Wednesday. While this could just be a precautionary move given the team's relatively quick turnaround following Monday's game, it will be worth monitoring Lawrence's injury status during full practices Thursday and Friday.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Exits with injury

    Lawrence entered the Cowboys' medical tent with a foot injury during Monday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. Lawrence's status for the remainder of Monday's game is unclear after he was forced to exit with a foot injury in the second half. With the veteran defensive end sidelined, rookie Sam Williams should see increased usage for the time being.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Sticking in Dallas

    The Cowboys and Lawrence agreed to a new three-year contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. There were talking points from both sides about Lawrence's contract situation this offseason, but in the end he'll stay with the team that made him a second-round pick back in 2014. Notably, he's now in line to be the first defensive end in league history to have his contract fully guaranteed for seven consecutive campaigns once he plays it out. Since tallying back-to-back seasons with double-digit sacks in 2017 and 2018, Lawrence has managed just 14.5 sacks in 39 games over the last three years. Still, he'll remain the key cog of Dallas' pass rush for the foreseeable future.

  • Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Another sack Saturday

    Lawrence recorded four tackles (three solo) including a sack and added a pass defended in Saturday's win over the Eagles. The veteran pass rusher was a force once again for the Cowboys, and missing 10 games earlier in the season to injury may have served to keep Lawrence fresh for the playoffs. Over the last five games, he's racked up 14 tackles, three sacks, three passes defended, a forced fumble and an INT he returned for a touchdown, giving him plenty of momentum heading into Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the 49ers.
