Moves to IR
Lawrence (foot) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: 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.

IR stint planned
Lawrence (foot) is expected to be placed on injured reserve sometime this week, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Expected to miss multiple weeks
Lawrence (foot) is expected to miss multiple weeks after being injured in Thursday night's win over the Giants, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lawrence was taken to the locker room and had his injured foot taped up on the sidelines Thursday night, but the extent of the injury is more severe and will require an extended absence. With both Lawrence and Micah Parsons (ankle) now injured, Dallas' defense could be in big trouble. Marshawn Kneeland, Chauncey Golston and Carl Lawson picked up the extra playing time against the Giants due to Parsons and Lawrence being injured.

Questionable to return
Lawrence (foot) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Giants, Saad Yousuf of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The defensive end made two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, before exiting. Lawrence played more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in each of Dallas' first three regular-season games, recording 12 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and a forced fumble.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Two sacks in opener
Lawrence recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's win over the Browns.
Analysis: Lawrence racked up four QB hits in total, part of a massive day for the 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.

Could see more work as pass rusher
Lawrence might see an uptick in sacks in 2024 with Sam Williams (knee) lost for the season and Dorance Armstrong now with Washington.
Analysis: Micah Parsons is still around for the 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.

Quiet season off edge
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.
Analysis: 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.

Eight tackles in defeat
Lawrence recorded eight tackles (seven solo) and also forced a fumble in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Lawrence was able to notch a season-high eight stops in the loss, including a fumble-inducing hit on running back Ty Johnson in the fourth quarter, which the Bills recovered. The defensive end has produced 40 tackles, including four sacks, and deflected three passes on top of the forced fumble over 14 games in 2023.

Logs sack versus Carolina
Lawrence registered three tackles (one solo), including a sack, in Dallas' 33-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Lawrence logged one of six sacks for the Cowboys on Sunday bringing his season total to four. The 2014 second-round pick will have ample opportunity to further add to his totals next week versus the Commanders and their struggling offensive line.

Five tackles, sack in loss
Lawrence recorded five tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Lawrence secured a season-high five tackles while also notching his second sack of the campaign. The defensive end is now up to eight tackles on the year while also deflecting a pass over three contests.

Notches first 2023 sack
Lawrence recorded a sack in Sunday's 40-0 win over the Giants.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

No injury designation
Lawrence doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After logging back-to-back limited sessions to start Week 15 prep due to a foot issue, Lawrence submitted a full practice Friday and is cleared for Sunday's contest. 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.

Limited in practice Week 15
Lawrence (foot) was a limited participant in the Cowboys' practice Thursday, Jordan Reid of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Limited to start Week 13 prep
Lawrence (foot) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Despite battling an illness and a foot injury, Lawrence was deemed active for the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Giants. The star pass rusher isn't listed with an illness anymore, but he's still limited by the foot injury. Regardless, barring a setback, Lawrence figures to play through the injury again in Week 13, though fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the week to ensure that's the case.

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.
Analysis: 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.

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.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: Lawrence made two tackles and scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery in the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Rams, but he appears to have left the contest a little worse for wear, injuring his ribs in the contest.

Lawrence recorded two tackles and scored a 19-yard touchdown on a fumble recovery in Sunday's win over the Rams.

However, the 30-year-old's foot continued to ail him during Dallas' limited practice Wednesday.

Enjoys three-sack outing
Lawrence notched six solo tackles including three sacks during Monday's 23-16 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Lawrence managed to match his 2021 sack total in a single contest, despite briefly exiting due to a foot injury. The veteran defensive end possesses high upside but a low floor in IDP fantasy formats, but in Week 4 he could get a chance to feast against the Commanders and Carson Wentz, who was sacked nine times last week by the Eagles.

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.

Lawrence recorded four tackles (three solo) including a sack and added a pass defended in Saturday's win over the Eagles.
Analysis: 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.

Lawrence recorded two solo tackles, a sack, a pass breakup and a pick-six in Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.
Analysis: This was Lawrence's first career touchdown. The 29-year-old missed time this year with a foot injury and has played just five games, but he's made quite an impact with 16 tackles (13 solo), four pass breakups, two sacks, two forced fumbles and a pick-six. Teaming up with rookie Micah Parsons and Randy Gregory makes this a daunting pass rush for opposing offenses to handle.

Officially removed from IR
Lawrence (foot) was activated from IR on Thursday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: This move was expected, but it's still a key development, as it officially paves the way for Lawrence to suit up Thursday evening against the Saints. Lawrence has been practicing but will have some rust to shake off since he hasn't played since the season opener, so he'll likely need a few games to ramp up to his usual level of playing time.

Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Lawrence (foot) "has had a good week" and will play Thursday versus the Saints, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Not practicing Tuesday, out Week 12
Lawrence (foot) didn't practice Tuesday, though Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said the defensive end could soon be designated for return from injured reserve, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Since Lawrence has yet to resume practicing since undergoing surgery Sept. 16 to address a fractured foot, he's safe to rule out for the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day game against the Raiders. On a more positive note, McCarthy's comments suggested Lawrence might be ready to resume practicing at some point next week. Whenever Lawrence is designated for return from IR, the Cowboys will have 21 days to evaluate him for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Analysis: McCarthy added that Lawrence is at least "making progress." Since undergoing foot surgery after the Cowboys' season opener, Lawrence has missed seven straight games.

Won't return Week 10
Lawrence (foot) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Lawrence has missed the last seven games after he underwent foot surgery, but he progressed to on-field rehab work last week. Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that the defensive end isn't expected to return to practice this week, and he'll be held out against Atlanta as a result.

Progressing in recovery
Lawrence (foot) has progressed to on-field rehab work, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Although Lawrence hasn't yet returned to practice as he remains on injured reserve, he's on the right track in his recovery. Coach Mike McCarthy is pleased with the defensive end's progress, but it's not yet clear when the 29-year-old will be designated to return from IR.

Not close to returning
Lawrence (foot) will likely miss at least another month, Nick Eatman, Rob Phillips and David Helman of the Cowboys' official site report.
Analysis: Speaking to 105.3 The Fan Dallas on Tuesday, Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones indicated the veteran defensive end wasn't particularly close to coming off injured reserve. The original timeline for Lawrence's return following his foot surgery after Week 1 was 6-to-8 weeks, but he looks on track to miss time beyond that. Until Lawrence is likely ready to go in Week 10 or 11, Randy Gregory will anchor the team's pass rush.

Moves to injured reserve
The Cowboys placed Lawrence (foot) on injured reserve Thursday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.
Analysis: After Lawrence underwent surgery on a fractured fifth metatarsal in his foot Thursday, the Cowboys made the procedural move to free up a spot on the 53-man roster. The pass rusher is expected to be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, meaning he likely won't be available until November, at the earliest. In Lawrence's place, Tarell Basham and Dorance Armstrong are the likely candidates to get run opposite Randy Gregory, who currently is on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Undergoes surgery
Lawrence (foot) underwent surgery Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence broke the fifth metatarsal of his foot in Wednesday's practice, and he's expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks while he recovers from surgery. Tarell Basham should see increased playing time in his absence, but coach Mike McCarthy is confident that Lawrence will be back on the field in 2021.

Requires foot surgery
Lawrence will require surgery after breaking the fifth metatarsal of his foot at Wednesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Rapoport, Lawrence won't be back until November, at the earliest, but fortunately the injury isn't season-ending. With Randy Gregory currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus, the Cowboys may scour the market or even explore trades to fill in gaps in the pass rush in the short term. Tarell Basham and Dorance Armstrong figure to be the team's primary defensive ends Sunday against the Chargers and potentially beyond that point.

Breaks foot, out indefinitely
Lawrence will be sidelined indefinitely after he broke his foot at Wednesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: When the Cowboys posted their first Week 2 injury report Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site noted Lawrence left practice early due to a foot issue. Now that the extent of the injury is known, Lawrence's potential return date could come down to whether he requires surgery to repair the fracture. While Lawrence recovers, Dallas may explore outside options for pass-rushing help, as Randy Gregory, Tarell Basham and Dorance Armstrong are the only defensive ends on the team who…read more

Unlikely to play Week 2
The Cowboys aren't expecting Lawrence to be available Sunday against the Chargers while he tends to a foot injury, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: According to David Helman of the Cowboys' official site, Lawrence made an early exit from Wednesday's practice and ultimately was deemed a limited participant. If the team's expectation comes to pass, Lawrence may not return to the practice field at all this week. Still, with two sessions to go, he'll at least have a chance to get back out there.

Ramping up workload
Lawrence saw some reps during the full team practice Friday, DallasCowboys.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran pass rusher underwent offseason back surgery and the Cowboys have been bringing Lawrence along slowly since activating him from the PUP list in early August, but his workload is now on the upswing as Week 1 approaches. The 29-year-old hasn't missed a game since 2016 despite ongoing back woes -- which the surgery was intended to correct -- but Lawrence has managed only 11.5 sacks over the last two seasons combined. If he's 100 percent healthy again and can stay that way, he should be…read more

The Cowboys activated Lawrence (back) from the PUP list Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence isn't yet ready to resume practicing, but he's at least managed to pass his physical. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he expects Lawrence to return to practice mid-August, and if that's indeed how things play out, there won't be any reason to worry about his status for Week 1.

Expected back before opener
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expects Lawrence (back) to resume practicing in mid-August and see some preseason action before the regular season begins, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence is on the PUP list after getting surgery on his back, but the procedure was deemed a "cleanup." He's on track to be all systems go prior to the season opener based on this update.

Finishing rehab from back surgery
Lawrence has been placed on the PUP list for the start of training camp after undergoing back surgery this offseason, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It was the third back surgery of Lawrence's career, but coach Mike McCarthy says it was "more of a cleanup" and suggested the defensive end should be ready to practice soon. Lawrence has recorded only 11.5 sacks in 32 games the past two seasons, down from 25 sacks in 32 games over the previous two years (2017-18), despite ostensibly still being in his prime (he turned 29 in April). Part of the issue is a lack of pass-rush help, which the Cowboys haven't done much to address.

Another lackluster season
Lawrence recorded 58 tackles (34 solo) while adding 6.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, two passes defended and a fumble recovery over 16 games in 2020.
Analysis: The veteran defensive end once again gave it his all on the field without seeing much in the way of IDP production. Lawrence did have his moments -- 4.5 of his sacks came during a seven-game stretch in the middle of the season -- but he doesn't get enough help in the pass rush to avoid extra attention from opposition blockers. Randy Gregory did have a couple of big games in the second half, however, and if he can take a step forward and present a consistent threat, Lawrence could be freed up to…read more

Reaches 50 tackles
Lawrence made five tackles (three solo), a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: With 5.5 sacks through 14 games, Lawrence has surpassed last year's five-sack mark, but he'll finish well short of the career-high 14.5 sacks he posted in 2017. In that season, Lawrence also posted a career-best 64 tackles. That number is within reason this year, as the veteran defensive end has registered 50 stops thus far.

Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The positive news has been confirmed with the release of Dallas' Week 11 injury report, providing Lawrence with his 10th start of the 2020 campaign.

Lawrence (illness) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but he traveled with the Cowboys to Minnesota and has been cleared to play, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Lawrence dealt with an illness during the practice week, but he's continued to pass all COVID-19 testing and looks like he won't face any limitations Sunday.

Dealing with ailment
Lawrence didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how serious the illness is and if it's COVID-19 related, but this news puts Lawrence's chances to suit up Sunday in jeopardy. The veteran continues to perform at a high level for the Cowboys, as he's racked up 34 tackles (22 solo), three sacks and two forced fumbles in nine games. If Lawrence is forced to miss Sunday's game, Bradlee Anae and Tyrone Crawford would be in line for an uptick in snaps.

Another sack in Sunday's loss
Lawrence recorded six tackles (five solo), including his third sack of the season, in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: The Dallas pass rush took down Carson Wentz four times on the night, starting with Lawrence on the Eagles' second play from scrimmage. He also forced a Boston Scott fumble in the third quarter, although the ball squirted out of bounds before the Cowboys could gain possession. All three of Lawrence's sacks this season have come in the last four games, and the veteran DE could be headed for a big second half.

Strong outing in loss
Lawrence recorded seven tackles (four solo) including a sack, in Sunday's loss to Washington.
Analysis: It was Lawrence's best IDP showing of 2020, as he picked up his second sack of the year along with a season high in tackles. With Randy Gregory now reinstated, the Cowboys have plenty of talent off the edge with Lawrence, Gregory, Everson Griffen and Aldon Smith all potential pass-rush threats, which could allow D-Law to avoid the consistent double teams he's had to deal with the last few seasons.

Analysis: Lawrence's knee injury limited his snaps during the second half of Sunday's win over the Falcons, and it looks as though he may currently be trending in the wrong direction for Week 3. The starting defensive end still has two more chances to increase his practice activity before a decision is made about his status, but Everson Griffen would be in line for increased work if Lawrence ends up forced to miss time.

He'll be monitored closely during the upcoming practice week, and McCarthy relayed that he'll know more following Wednesday's practice.

Analysis: The Cowboys converted $15 million of Lawrence's base salary for 2020 into a signing bonus, freeing up $12 million in cap space this year. The move could signal that the Cowboys are exploring the free agent market, or possibly that contract talks with Dak Prescott have progressed.

The offseason additions of Gerald McCoy and Dontari Poe figure to make things a bit easier for Lawrence (back) in 2020, David Helman and Jonny Auping of the Cowboys' official site report.
Analysis: Lawrence played in all 16 games for the third consecutive season in 2019, but his sack total (five) was cut in half from the previous year as he played through shoulder issues before a back injury felled him in the last game. The 28-year-old should be healthy entering 2020, with the signings of McCoy and Poe set to provide a significant interior presence , which could help Lawrence reach double-digit sacks once again.

Analysis: After signing a long-term contract extension last April, Lawrence immediately underwent shoulder surgery that required a lengthy recovery period, and he never seemed to get fully healthy after missing most of training camp and the preseason. Although he played in all 16 games in 2019, the 27-year-old recorded only half a sack over the season's second half as he was slowed by various bumps and bruises.
