Lawrence recorded five tackles (four solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's win over the Browns. Lawrence racked up four QB hits in total, part of a massive day for the Cowboys' pass rush that saw the unit pressure Deshaun Watson 25 times on 56 dropbacks, leading to six total sacks and 17 QB hits. The veteran defensive end hasn't had a season with double-digit sacks since 2018, but with offensive lines forced to key on Micah Parsons, Lawrence has a golden opportunity to turn back the clock in 2024.

Lawrence recorded five tackles (four solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's win over the Browns. Lawrence racked up four QB hits in total, part of a massive day for the Cowboys' pass rush that saw the unit pressure Deshaun Watson 25 times on 56 dropbacks, leading to six total sacks and 17 QB hits. The veteran defensive end hasn't had a season with double-digit sacks since 2018, but with offensive lines forced to key on Micah Parsons, Lawrence has a golden opportunity to turn back the clock in 2024.
Lawrence might see an uptick in sacks in 2024 with Sam Williams (knee) lost for the season, and Dorance Armstrong now with Washington. Micah Parsons is still around for the Cowboys, but with the team's secondary cast of edge rushers thinned, Lawrence could see his responsibilities in that area increase under new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Armstrong and Williams combined for 12.0 sacks in 2023, while Lawrence managed just 4.0, but rookie second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland and free-agent signing Carl Lawson, who will begin the season on the practice squad, aren't likely to replace that lost production on their own. The 32-year-old Lawrence has become more of a run-stuffer in recent years and hasn't topped 6.5 sacks since 2018, so even with increased opportunities, his IDP ceiling is likely limited.
