The Dallas Cowboys are facing significant challenges on their defensive line as both Sam Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence have been placed on injured reserve. With Lawrence sidelined due to a foot injury, the team is turning to veteran Carl Lawson from the practice squad and has signed K.J. Henry from the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad.

K.J. Henry, a former fifth-round pick by the Washington Commanders, brings experience under defensive line coach Jeff Zgonina, which could be beneficial for the Cowboys. Henry had a solid college career at Clemson but has yet to fully realize his potential in the NFL.
