While the worst-case scenario was certainly avoided, both situations appear to be\u00a0worse than initially expected, per Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons fell victim to a high ankle sprain. After exiting the Thursday night matchup in the fourth quarter, Parsons saw negative x-rays immediately after the game. An MRI revealed the sprain, and though there was initially hope that Parsons would be able to take advantage of a 10-day break until their next game and return, the star defender will be out for two to four weeks. With Parsons being such a key player on the defense, it stands to reason that Dallas would slow-play his return, erring on the side of caution and waiting until after their Week 7 bye to bring him back.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence\u2019s injury seemed immediately worse than Parsons\u2019, a sentiment later confirmed by head coach\u00a0<strong>Mike McCarthy<\/strong>. An MRI today unveiled a mid-foot sprain in Lawrence\u2019s right foot, but the prognosis wasn\u2019t disclosed until a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, pinning Lawrence\u2019s recovery timeline at\u00a0four weeks, at least.<\/p>\n<p>According to Watkins, McCarthy made it known that both players would be\u00a0seeking second opinions\u00a0on their situations. If both situations hold true to their current form, though, Lawrence becomes a sure candidate for injured reserve. With plans to reevaluate Lawrence in four weeks, it makes perfect sense to place him on IR and fill his roster spot with someone who can play now.<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0<strong>Sam Williams<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Durrell Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0already on IR and\u00a0<strong>Tyrus Wheat<\/strong>\u00a0dealing with injury, the Cowboys\u2019 depth on the defensive edge is sure to be tested in the coming weeks. Adding Parsons and Lawrence to the list of unavailable players leaves only two healthy defensive ends on the roster:\u00a0<strong>Chauncey Golston<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Marshawn Kneeland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A second-round rookie out of Western Michigan, Kneeland will receive a baptism by fire. He\u2019s served mostly as a rotational rusher in the first few games of the season but will likely be tested much more moving forward. Golston is in a contract year with the Cowboys after being drafted in the third round out of Iowa in 2021. He\u2019s also been mostly a rotational pass rusher throughout his three years with the team, logging three starts and 4.5 sacks in that time.<\/p>\n<p>With a lack of bodies on the edge, the Cowboys will likely continue to look for new players to add to the defense, something the team\u00a0has been doing\u00a0since Williams went down in July. They hosted free agent pass rushers\u00a0<strong>Carl Lawson<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Shaka Toney<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Al-Quadin Muhammad<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Justin Hollins<\/strong>\u00a0before the season, eventually\u00a0signing Lawson\u00a0to the practice squad. They may call up some familiar names in their time of need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cowboys\u2019 second win of the season came with some losses at its heels.\u00a0Injuries to\u00a0edge rushers\u00a0Micah Parsons\u00a0and\u00a0DeMarcus Lawrence\u00a0dampened an otherwise victorious Thursday night over the division-rival Giants&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
