DeMarcus Lawrence

Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) will not yet be activated for practice off of IR, but does appear to be moving around well, per HC Mike McCarthy.

Fantasy Impact

Lawrence was placed on injured reserve back on Oct. 1 due to a sustained foot injury. It appears the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher is not yet ready to return to action.

The Cowboys placed DeMarcus Lawrence on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

This was the expectation after Lawrence left last week's game early. He will miss at least the next four games for Dallas.

Cowboys DL DeMarcus Lawrence will not need surgery on his right foot because the bones were not displaced, although he could miss four-eight weeks and is a likely IR candidate.

Fantasy Impact

Relatively good news here for the four-time Pro Bowler as his foot will not require surgery. A four-eight week timeframe would put him in line to return between Weeks 8-12.

DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks.

Fantasy Impact

Lawrence suffered some kind of a foot injury in Thursday night's win over the Giants. It's expected to sideline him for several weeks, and it seems unlikely that he takes the field until after the team's Week 7 bye. With Micah Parsons (ankle) also set to miss time, Dallas' defensive front will be much weaker than usual over the next few weeks.

DeMarcus Lawrence, who barely practiced this week with a foot injury, will play against the Vikings, according to Tom Pelissero.

Fantasy Impact

Lawrence is actually battling injuries to both of his feet and his knee, and thinks he might be playing with a fracture. He is second on the team in sacks so he'll be a key part of the Dallas defense this week in a game that they desperately want to win against a strong Vikings team.
