Cowboys' Lawrence and Parsons Out with Injuries

The Dallas Cowboys have suffered significant blows with both starting defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and linebacker Micah Parsons sidelined due to injuries sustained during their win over the New York Giants. Lawrence has a Lisfranc injury to his right foot and is expected to miss four to eight weeks, likely landing on injured reserve. Parsons, diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, is expected to miss two to four weeks. The absence of both Pro Bowl players is a major setback for the Cowboys' defense, which has already struggled this season. In their stead, the Cowboys will rely on rookie Marshawn Kneeland, Chauncey Golston, and potentially elevate Carl Lawson from the practice squad. The Cowboys next face challenging games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions before their Week 7 bye.
