Defense has been a problem in Dallas and it won’t be any easier for the upcoming weeks.
The Cowboys lost star defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence to a broken foot suffered in practice Wednesday.
Dallas, which plays at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, already was looking at being without its other defensive end Randy Gregory (COVID-19).
The #Cowboys best pass-rusher, Demarcus Lawrence is now out for the better part of the season. A broken foot, suffered in practice. Just terrible luck for Lawrence and the Dallas D.
