Cowboys Place DeMarcus Lawrence On Injured Reserve
2 months agoThe Dallas Cowboys placed defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday due to the foot injury he suffered in last Thursday night's win over the division-rival New York Giants. In a corresponding move, Dallas signed defensive end K.J. Henry off the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad. Lawrence specifically is dealing with a Lisfranc injury to his right foot and he's expected to need four to eight weeks to recover. The good news is that he will not need surgery. In addition to Lawrence, the Cowboys are expected to play without edge rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) in Week 5 on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a high left-ankle sprain. Dallas is likely to elevate defensive end Carl Lawson from the practice squad for the third straight game this week. Against dual-threat QB Justin Fields and Pittsburgh on Sunday without their top two pass-rushers, Dallas' defense/special teams is a fringe fantasy play in 12-team leagues.
