Lawrence will be out for at least four weeks after suffering a foot ailment that forced him to go on injured reserve. However, according to the Dallas Morning News, Lawrence might be gone for up to eight weeks after breaking a bone in his right foot, known as a Lisfranc injury.
The news is better on Parsons, who suffered an ankle injury and was carted off the field in the Giants win. Parsons is not likely to play in Week 5, but it is possible. Either way, he won’t have to hit the IR, which is worthy of a sigh of relief in Dallas.
“I think Micah is week to week,” said executive vice president Stephen Jones to 105.3 The Fan last week, via the Cowboys’ website. “Every player is different in how their body responds, so Micah is week to week. We haven’t ruled him out this week, for that matter.
“We’ll just see how things go.”
With their already banged-up defense taking yet more slings and arrows, the folks at Bleacher Report have a suggestion for the Cowboys: At least give Frank Clark a look-see.
Frank Clark has earned three Pro Bowl spots
Clark, a 31-year-old veteran and three-time Pro Bowl defensive end, has won titles in Kansas City in 2019 and 2022. Clark was released by the Chiefs following the second championship and bounced between the Broncos and Seahawks last season, playing only 178 snaps.
He might not have much left as an NFL-level pass-rusher, but it would be worthwhile for the Cowboys to find out.
