Cowboys in injury hell with Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence

The Cowboys are hurting despite Thursday’s win over the rival Giants.

Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence are both expected to miss time after injuries during 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.

Dallas revealed Friday that the star pass rusher is dealing with a high ankle sprain and that it is happening on a week-to-week basis, according to the Associated Press.

One of the best defensive players in the NFL, Parsons has recorded at least 13 sacks in each of the past three seasons, though he has only played one through four games in 2024.

Lawrence’s diagnosis is even worse.

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

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

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that their injuries are “worse than they expected,” although Lawrence is worse off than Parsons, ESPN reported.

McCarthy added that both players are getting second opinions 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 will take on the undefeated Steelers in Week 5 and the Lions a week later before their bye week in Week 7.

Dallas moved to 2-2 on Thursday after their win over Big Blue.
