Why Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence is the biggest player missing from camp, not Ezekiel Elliott - Tim Cowlishaw, SportsDay
The SportsDay columnist makes the case for why too much attention is being paid to Elliott’s situation and not enough to All-Pro defensive end Demarcus Lawrence’s absence due to injury.
Ten days into training camp, Ezekiel Elliott’s absence remains not just a local but national obsession. “WHO WILL CAVE FIRST: ZEKE OR JERRY,” reads the talking point on ESPN’s First Take.
And yet four months into his recovery from shoulder surgery, DeMarcus Lawrence rarely draws a mention even though he is the Cowboys’ most indispensable player on their best unit.
