Cowboys' DeMarcus Lawrence: Not close to returning

Lawrence (foot) will likely miss at least another month, Nick Eatman, Rob Phillips and David Helman of the Cowboys' official site report.

Speaking to 105.3 The Fan Dallas on Tuesday, Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones indicated the veteran defensive end wasn't particularly close to coming off injured reserve. The original timeline for Lawrence's return following his foot surgery after Week 1 was 6-to-8 weeks, but he looks on track to miss time beyond that. Until Lawrence is likely ready to go in Week 10 or 11, Randy Gregory will anchor the team's pass rush.
