Cowboys Seek Pass Rushers Amid Injuries, Holdout

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to bolster their defensive line after defensive end Sam Williams suffered a season-ending ACL and MCL tear during practice. They are working out veteran pass rusher Carl Lawson, among others. Lawson, who has played for the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Jets, had an injury-plagued career but showed potential in previous seasons. His familiarity with Cowboys' defensive run game coordinator Paul Guenther from their time with the Bengals adds to his appeal. With Williams out, rookie Marshawn Kneeland may also have a larger role alongside DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons. The Cowboys face additional challenges, including the holdout of star receiver CeeDee Lamb and contract negotiations with quarterback Dak Prescott.
