Injuries are starting to turn up in the worst kind of way for the Dallas Cowboys late in the game against the Detroit Lions. The best defensive player, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, left the field with what appears to be a shoulder injury after being looked at by trainers.
It doesn’t appear to be serious, according to The Athletic’s Jon Machota.
DeMarcus Lawrence is out of the blue medical tent. Looked like he was trying to get back on the field, so that could be a sign that his injury isn't significant https://t.co/we1W3sLYdX

Lawrence fell awkwardly on the shoulder and stayed down for a while. He had offseason surgery that kept him out of training camp.
On the very next play, both cornerback Anthony Brown and safety Xavier Woods left the game with undetermined injuries. Their status at this time is unknown.
After allowing a touchdown, the Cowboys returned to the field only to quarterback Dak Prescott get sacked and look to be in some discomfort, but remained in the game. His right tackle La’el Collins was also being looked at by trainers after getting rolled up on the play.
Regardless of the result of the game, these situations will bear monitoring going forward.
