DeMarcus Lawrence has been one of the Cowboys most reliable defenders for a long time, but Mike Zimmer’s defense will be without him for some time.
The Dallas Cowboys will place defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence on injured reserve in the coming days, a person with knowledge of the club’s thinking told The Dallas Morning News.
Discussions about potential roster moves are ongoing, but the current plan is to elevate defensive end Carl Lawson from practice squad for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, while bringing in several other players for workouts.
Lawrence suffered a Lisfranc injury to his right foot in the third quarter of the Cowboys’ 20-15 victory over the Giants on Thursday.
