Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is scheduled to return from his four-game suspension next week.

But will he be 100 percent?

Jerry Jones said during his Tuesday morning radio interview that Lawrence, who led the team with eight sacks last year, is dealing with "some limitations ... physically."

"He's had some issues that he's dealing with that you have to keep your eye on," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan's Shan and RJ show [KRLD-FM]. "But he's fighting through it."

Double ****.

Back surgery not quite healing up. Not surprised, he's a DE....can't catch any breaks. Maybe next year, they will actually put some real effort into fixing this.

Why bother, anyone we sign is either going to

A) Get hurt, and be not the same after

B) Get suspended due to drugs, or PEDS

C) Completely fail expectations, and perform measurably worse then his prior season

At this point I think it would be better if we just pray.

Two bone headed defensive ends and we signed Mayowa. Lol

 

[Bowdown27]

He's an upgrade even not 100% for us.

You can't make this stuff up. Again, why weren't we interested in a guy like Jabaal Sheard?

Probably cardio and overall strength. Give him a couple of weeks.

When I read the thread title my initial thought was Jerry Jones pouring kool aid to everyone how lawrences return was gonna fix all our pass rush woes !

NOW i sort of wish it was that after reading the OP post !

Huh, if thats true what has he been doing since camp? I doubt it.

DE is priority #1 & 2 this offseason.

Post Demarcus Ware has been a joke.

I don't understand our front office - how is it we have a such holes on our team? Why don't they just go to the Great Player tree, like all 31 teams, and get Great Players at every position. It couldn't possibly be so complicated to just go get those guys who give you 10 sacks a season in the draft.

I swear if we fail on another 2nd round pick this draft a coffee table somewhere is getting wrecked.

 

[chagus]

Great. Perfect.

Because they don't believe in Free Agency and then they draft injury prone projects.

Wow this is some bs

 

[Aven8]

Well it appears now the calvary is riding a donkey!!

I don't think Jerry would call those things "limitations" someone is dealing with.

I don't think Jerry would call those things "limitations" someone is dealing with.

Precisely. We are talking about someone who had a "back issue" even before he got suspended and he is still coping with "limitations"?
