The Dallas Cowboys are facing a significant challenge as both DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons are set to miss time due to injuries. Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that Lawrence's foot injury is more serious than Parsons' high-ankle sprain.

Lawrence is expected to be out for several weeks, likely returning after the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, while Parsons may have a shorter recovery. The team hopes to have both players back for their crucial Week 8 game against the San Francisco 49ers.
