According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, the Dallas Cowboys will likely send DeMarcus Lawrence to IR after suffering a Lisfranc injury to his right foot. Lawrence is looking at a potential return in November, if his recovery goes as planned.
The injury to Lawrence took place during the Cowboys 20-15 win over the New York Giants on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium in NJ. Lawrence went down in the third quarter while trying to chase down Giants quarterback Daniel Jone, landing awkwardly on his right foot while doing so. The defensive end eventually went to the sidelines and left the game, where he was ruled out. Before leaving the game, Lawrence had two total tackles (he has 14 total tackles and three sacks this season, his 11th with the Cowboys).
Luckily for Lawrence and the Cowboy, he will not need to undergo surgery as the bones in his foot were not displaced. The Cowboys play the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions the next two weeks before their bye week on Oct. 20th.
