Demarcus Lawrence could be out 4 to 8 weeks

Will we see a difference? Does not seem like he has done much so far this year.

Kneeland had a good game, and it was mentioned after the draft, he was drafted to eventually replace DLaw.
He must step up even more now.

But how and who replaces Micah. They can't, but can they find a player that can at least be decent enough. As Micah seemed to be not as productive as usual either.
Not saying one or the other, or both will be missed. As they will be.

They just need a plan until Micah can return, hopefully after the bye week.

Jerry needs to call Randy Gregory and see if something can come out of it. Seriously, we need help ASAP.

I think Kneeland can hold up in place of Lawrence. The issue I think will be whoever fills Kneeland's spot in the rotation. How are we feeling about Tyrus Wheat?

Eight weeks is being generous for a football player.

 

[Risen Star]

Use wins instead of weeks.

Lawrence is out 4 to 8 wins.

Wheat is a tremendous talent.

This is the worst news possible. He was our best run defender on a defense that is already struggling to stop the run. I thought we could easily slide to 2-9 given the schedule before this injury.

Start queueing up those top ten mock drafts boys

Our bad defense just got worse.I am forced to update my 9-8 to 7-10.

No. Please reconsider.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

No. Please reconsider.

I'm afraid this decision is non-negotiable but your concern is noted.

I’m less worried about Tank than I am Micah.

Lawrence is the league leader in missed tackles. Kneeland has also played well.

Tank is like Martin. Older guy, solid reputation but play is on an obvious decline.

I mean, he was the best player on the field in the opener this year.

They seem to like him, he was on the PS for a few years, and now on the 53, but has been inactive so far.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Maybe he won't be tired at the end of the year.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Saving him for December/January may pay off. It will give Kneeland valuable experience and hopefully allow Tank to be fresh late in the season.

Problem with that is the nature of his injury. I could see him missing the season or at least being hampered by it all season.

This is his last year in Dallas most likely, so hopefully he recovers.

That fool can’t set the edge.

 

[Redsfan_83]

As much as that is not good, for the future of this team we need to see what Kneeland is

You really think the Cowboys will be 2-9 because we are missing Tank? I don’t think they would go 2-9 without Dak. All teams run into some injuries along the schedule.
