Still, if the Cowboys want to end their season on a win streak, adding one of their best defensive players back into the fold would certainly help.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full\">\n<div class=\"not-prose flex aspect-video w-full items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jerry Jones said Dallas will, \u201cmore than likely,\u201d have defensive end\u00a0DeMarcus Lawrence\u00a0back for their next game against the Cincinnati Bengals, via 105.3 The Fan, h\/t Jon Machota of The Athletic. Lawrence has been on injured reserve with a foot injury.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose align-center\">\n<div class=\"min-w-[300px] overflow-x-hidden text-center font-secondary uppercase my-2.5 min-h-[280px] md:min-h-[250px]\">\n<div id=\"content_1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He\u00a0picked up that injury that last time the Cowboys played the Giants, ironically also on Thursday Night Football. The ailment has taken him out for the majority of the season, meaning his return may be too little too late in terms of wins and losses. However, he is sure to give the defensive side a boost to round out the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In the four games he played before his injury, Lawrence racked up 14 tackles, five quarterback hits and three sacks. Even missing as much time as he has, Lawrence is tied for fourth on the team in sacks.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">The defensive end is set to be a free agent after the season. A strong showing at the end of the year will bode well for him during the offseason. Whether it be with the Cowboys or elsewhere, whoever signs Lawrence&#8217;s next paycheck wants to see a healthy pass rusher getting at the quarterback.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose align-center\">\n<div class=\"min-w-[300px] overflow-x-hidden text-center font-secondary uppercase my-2.5 min-h-[280px] md:min-h-[250px]\">\n<div id=\"content_2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It appears like Dallas will get that opportunity in Week 14. The Cowboys can make it two in a row if they can find a way to stop Joe Burrow and the Bengals. He might be just one player, but DeMarcus Lawrence is now on track to be back on the defensive line and is sure to pack a punch.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"px-4 pb-5 lg:px-0\">\n<hr class=\"mb-5 h-[1px] w-[150px] bg-secondary\" \/>\n<p class=\"font-tertiary italic text-secondary [&amp;_&gt;a]:text-link [&amp;_&gt;a]:underline\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px solid #e5e7eb; --tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; margin: 0px; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.75rem; font-family: var(--font-lora); font-style: italic; --tw-text-opacity: 1; color: rgb(88 88 88\/var(--tw-text-opacity));\">Dan Fappiano\u00a0is a Connecticut based sports journalist covering NFL and MLB news for ClutchPoints.
