Lawrence (elbow) tallied 44 tackles (23 solo), including 9.0 sacks, along with a defensed pass and a forced fumble over 12 games (all starts) during the regular season. Lawrence missed the final five games of the campaign due to a dislocated elbow, but prior to the injury he was putting together another dominant season. Among other things, the big defensive tackle registered a career-best 9.0 sacks, all of which came in New York's first seven games. Lawrence is signed through the 2027 campaign and should be healthy by the start of next season, when he'll be looked to as the heart of the Giants' defense once again.

Lawrence (elbow) tallied 44 tackles (23 solo), including 9.0 sacks, along with a defensed pass and a forced fumble over 12 games (all starts) during the regular season. Lawrence missed the final five games of the campaign due to a dislocated elbow, but prior to the injury he was putting together another dominant season. Among other things, the big defensive tackle registered a career-best 9.0 sacks, all of which came in New York's first seven games. Lawrence is signed through the 2027 campaign and should be healthy by the start of next season, when he'll be looked to as the heart of the Giants' defense once again.
Lawrence (elbow) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Lawrence dislocated his elbow in Thursday's game against the Cowboys and was expected to miss the remainder of the season. His move to injured reserve all but assures it, as the Giants will only have their Week 18 game remaining once he's eligible to return to the active roster.
Lawrence will have an MRI on his elbow in the next few days, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Lawrence dislocated his elbow in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to Dallas. While the MRI will provide insight into the extent of the injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the All-Pro nose tackle is expected to miss the rest of the campaign. It's a big blow to the Giants defense, as Lawrence has been dominant this season and leads the team with 9.0 sacks.
Lawrence (elbow) said he dislocated his elbow during Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys and is not sure on a potential timeline to return, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Lawrence is expected to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, although Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reported that the defensive tackle was spotted in a sling with what Lawrence described as a "popped elbow." Lawrence logged three tackles (two solo) before leaving Thursday's game due to the injury.
Lawrence (elbow) will not return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Lawrence suffered an elbow injury in the third quarter, and after being evaluated in the locker room, he will not return to Thursday's game. Jordan Riley will be the Giants' primary nose tackle for the rest of the game due to Lawrence's injury.
Lawrence (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. The All-Pro defensive tackle had been dealing with a knee injury following the Giants' Week 11 bye, but it now appears he's moved past the issue in time for Sunday's matchup. Lawrence has been one of the NFL's most dominant defensive players this season, recording 38 total tackles, including 9.0 sacks, and defending one pass through 10 games. He's expected to serve as the team's top interior defensive lineman Sunday.
Lawrence (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Lawrence played through a hip issue in the Giants' most recent game against the Panthers in Week 10, but he's now picked up a knee injury following the team's Week 11 bye. His participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Lawrence recorded six tackles (one solo) in a Week 9 loss to Washington. Though Lawrence wasn't able to build on his total of 9.0 sacks (which ranks second in the league and is already a career high), he did manage to tally a season-high tackle total. The nose tackle continues to anchor New York's defense and dominate opposing offensive lines. Lawrence is up to 34 tackles (20 solo) on the season.
Lawrence (hip) was limited in Saturday's practice and does not carry an injury designation for Monday's contest against the Steelers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Lawrence will be available as the 2-5 Giants look to rebound versus Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football. The standout defensive lineman has already tallied a career-high 9.0 sacks through seven regular-season appearances in 2024.
