Mike McCarthy: Cowboys stars’ injuries ‘worse than we anticipated’
The Dallas Cowboys defense took a couple of hits in the team’s 20-15 win over the New York Giants on Thursday night.
Not only did Micah Parsons suffer an ankle injury, but defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence also got hurt.
Lawrence has a foot injury that is expected to keep him out at least four weeks. That makes Lawrence a candidate to be placed on injured reserve.
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday the injuries to both Lawrence and Parsons were worse than the team initially believed.
Parsons has a high-ankle sprain.
Lawrence has been with the Cowboys since 2014 and is a four-time Pro Bowler. He has 14 tackles and three sacks in four games. The former Defensive Rookie of the Year Parsons has a sack and 14 total tackles this season, including two tackles for a loss.
But now both players will miss a good chunk of the season for the 2-2 Cowboys.
