Sources have revealed that three-time All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons and four-time Pro Bowl defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence will miss several weeks as a result of injuries they sustained on Thursday night. The Dallas Cowboys’ victory over the New York Giants was not without a price. The news was initially reported by NFL Network. Parsons will “miss multiple weeks” due to a severe ankle sprain; he left the game late in the fourth quarter and was carried to the locker room. The team’s goal is for him to recover and be ready to play when the Cowboys visit the 49ers in San Francisco during their week seven bye.
Lawrence, who left the game in the third quarter, has a foot sprain. He will consult a doctor to find out how serious it is and what his recovery schedule entails. In any case, it is anticipated that the 32-year-old would miss several games due to the injury. Head coach Mike McCarthy stated on Friday that “both Micah and DeMarcus are getting second opinions.” “D-Law’s is inferior to Micah’s.” I can not give you a deadline; we will talk about that in more detail on Monday. I am aware that there will be differing perspectives regarding these individuals. They surpass our expectations in severity.
Marshawn Kneeland, a rookie defensive end, will now see a heavier workload for the Cowboys. Dallas selected the Western Michigan University standout in the second round of the NFL Draft in April. This season, he has tallied eight tackles. Second-year defensive end Tyrus Wheat, fourth-year defensive lineman Chauncey Golston, and practice squad player Carl Lawson provide more alternatives for defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
McCarthy stated, “We will have a plan for the players when they get back on Monday.” Parsons and Lawrence will have to miss at least four weeks of activity before they can return to the field if they are placed on the injured reserve list. In doing so, Dallas would be able to add a player to its 53-man roster without having to waive or release another player. Due to an injury, Parsons will miss the first few games of his career. He only missed one game in his first three seasons, that being the 2021 week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, when most of Dallas’ players were rested in preparation for the postseason.For the third time in his 11-year career, Lawrence—who broke his foot in 2021 and missed nine games—will lose a significant amount of time. As a rookie, he first broke his foot in 2014, and in 2016, he had back surgery. DaRon Bland’s impending comeback DaRon Bland, a 2023 All-Pro cornerback, has been sidelined by the Cowboys since the beginning of the season as he recovers from foot surgery he need last month. Bland, who began the season on injured reserve, will be able to ramp up for up to 21 days after practicing on Monday and before being required to be recalled onto the 53-man roster. While the team’s next game may see him return to practice
This week, most likely not, Jones replied. However, he is drawing nearer. Bland will work more extensively on the field this coming week with director of rehabilitation Britt Brown, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys will assess the health of rookie cornerback Caelen Carson, who has been dealing with a shoulder ailment that prevented him from playing against the Giants on Thursday night, if Bland is sidelined for the fifth consecutive game. Practice squad cornerback Amani Oruwariye stole the show with a game-winning interception on Daniel Jones in the last minute of the game, and he might be worth more playing time against the Steelers if he is also unable to play.
