Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence heads to locker room with apparent foot injury

The long-time DE had to exit the game after missing his second sack.

The Dallas Cowboys haven’t been doing a good job of securing the ball carrier in their Week 4 contest with the New York Giants. Fortunately they’ve made enough stops to keep New York out of the end zone, though in the third quarter their troops were depleted as they beared down on the opening drive.

With an opportunity to bring down quarterback Daniel Jones, DeMarcus Lawrence was unable to complete the sack. To make matters worse, Lawrence stayed on the ground and grabbed towards his right ankle after the play was over.

He’d have a slight limp as he made it to the sideline and after being checked out for several minutes, made his way back to the locker room. Lawrence already has the team’s lone sack of the game, his third in four games after two in the season opener against Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns.

Rookie Marshawn Kneeland is next up if Lawrence cannot return to the field. We’ll update as we know more.
