Demarcus Lawrence

It was another down week in what has been a very disappointing season for Lawrence. Last week, he managed to post just three total tackles in the loss to Philadelphia. He now has just half a sack in his past seven games. He put up a goose egg in the first meeting with Washington while playing 46 snaps. It's hard to rely on him this week but he's tough to sit on potential alone.

DeMarcus Lawrence activated from PUP

NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo reported Monday that Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence was expected to be activated off the physically unable to perform list “soon.” As it turns out, “soon” is just one day later as the star pass-rusher was activated Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Lawrence participated in individual drills during Tuesday’s practice. It was his first practice participation of the summer after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. Lawrence signed a five-year, $105 million contract extension in April. The deal includes $65 million in guaranteed money and makes him the highest paid non-quarterback with $31.1 million for the 2019 season. He has recorded 25 sacks over the last two seasons.
