The Dallas Cowboys‘ road win over the New York Giants on Thursday was costly. Already struggling mightily to stop opponents’ rushing attacks, the Cowboys suffered two significant setbacks when starting defensive ends Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence were injured in the second half.
On Tuesday, the Cowboys placed Lawrence on injured reserve, meaning he’ll miss at least the next four weeks. To fill his roster spot, Dallas signed 25-year-old KJ Henry off the practice squad of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Parsons has yet to officially be ruled out of the team’s Week 5 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium, formerly known as Heinz Field.
However, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported on Sunday that the star pass-rusher has a high-ankle sprain and is likely to miss two weeks. He’s expected to be re-evaluated sometime between this Sunday and Wednesday, based on Rapoport’s timeline.
Dallas has a bye in Week 7.
