The Dallas Cowboys secured a narrow victory against the New York Giants, but it came with significant injuries to key players. Linebacker Micah Parsons is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, while defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence has a foot sprain that could sideline him for several weeks.

Head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that both players are undergoing further evaluations, with Lawrence's injury being more severe. Despite these setbacks, McCarthy remains optimistic that both will return during the 2024 season.

Lawrence, a four-time Pro Bowler, has been a standout performer this season, nearing his previous year's sack total. His absence, along with Parsons', poses a challenge for a Cowboys defense that has struggled early in the season. The team will have some time to regroup before facing the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers next week.
