Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is expected to miss at least four weeks and is a “prime candidate to land on injured reserve” due to a foot injury, according to NFL Network’s\u00a0Ian Rapoport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lawrence suffered the injury in the third quarter of the Cowboys’ 20-15 win over the New York Giants on Thursday night. He was examined on Dallas’ sideline before heading to the locker room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The four-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher racked up three sacks through the first four games of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dallas’ defense will be missing several key pieces moving forward, as star outside linebacker Micah Parsons suffered a high-ankle sprain during Thursday’s win.\u00a0Calvin Watkins\u00a0of the\u00a0Dallas Morning News\u00a0<\/i>reported that Parsons could miss “between” two and four weeks before returning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cowboys pass-rusher Sam Williams was previously ruled out for the season after he suffered a\u00a0torn ACL\u00a0near the start of training camp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy\u00a0told reporters\u00a0Lawrence’s injury is worse than Parsons’, adding that both players’ injuries are worse than expected and that they’ll each get a second opinion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland also hasn’t been able to suit up in 2024, as he opened up the season on\u00a0injured reserve\u00a0due to a stress fracture in his left foot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lawrence has been an important part of Dallas’ front seven since he was drafted with a second-round pick in 2014, spending all 11 years of his career with the organization. He’s remained relatively healthy prior to his injury against New York, appearing in 17 regular-season games in each of the past two seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
