Cowboys in injury hell with Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence

The Cowboys are doing poorly despite Thursday’s win against the rival Giants.

Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence are both expected to miss time after sustaining injuries in Dallas’ 20-15 win at MetLife Stadium.

Parsons left the game late in the fourth quarter after suffering an ankle injury when Giants right guard Greg Van Roten fell on his leg during a play.

According to the Associated Press, Dallas announced Friday that the star pass rusher is dealing with a high ankle sprain and will be considered week-to-week.

Parsons, one of the NFL’s best defensive players, has recorded at least 13 sacks in each of the last three seasons, although he has played in just one to four games in 2024.

Lawrence’s diagnosis is even worse.

The four-time Pro Bowler sprained his left ankle in the third quarter and “is expected to miss several weeks,” according to NFL Network.

The 32-year-old defensive end had a strong start to 2024, recording three sacks and four tackles for a loss in four games.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that her injuries are “worse than (she) expected,” although Lawrence is doing worse than Parsons, ESPN reported.

McCarthy added that both players are seeking a second opinion on their injuries.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones struck a more optimistic tone during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan on Friday.

“I’m glad they’re feeling good,” Jones said. “Both have a good feeling about it. That’s usually a good sign.”

The Cowboys face the undefeated Steelers in Week 5 and the Lions a week later before their Week 7 bye.

Dallas moved to 2-2 after defeating Big Blue on Thursday.
