Lawrence (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Dealing with foot injury
Rotowire
Lawrence (foot) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lawrence played 53 defensive snaps and recorded three total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, during Sunday's win over the Browns, but he appears to have sustained a foot injury during the process. The All-Pro defensive tackle will likely suit up for Thursday night's divisional matchup with the Cowboys, unless he downgrades to a DNP either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Logs Week 1 sack
Rotowire
Lawrence recorded three tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Lawrence sacked Minnesota QB San Darnold on the Vikings' first drive of the contest to help force a three-and-out. Though the Clemson product is considered one of the league's premier defensive linemen, he doesn't typically put up big sack numbers, and he recorded a modest 4.5 sacks last year. However, Lawrence's impact on the Giants' pass rush is monumental, as evidenced by his six quarterback pressures Sunday.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Sees first preseason action
Rotowire
Lawrence didn't notch any tackles but deflected a pass in Saturday's preseason loss against Houston.
Lawrence didn't play in the Giants' preseason opener last week versus Detroit, so this was his first chance to shake off any offseason rust in game action. He made an impressive play in the first quarter, batting down a C.J. Stroud pass attempt on fourth down to shut down a potential scoring drive. Lawrence is one of the league's top defensive linemen and will lead a New York pass rush that could be very formidable with the offseason addition of Brian Burns.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Clears cap space with restructure
Rotowire
Lawrence agreed Thursday to restructure his contract with the Giants, creating $7.5 million in cap space for the team, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.
New York converted $10 million of Lawrence's base salary into a signing bonus, and pushed $7.5 million of that total into future years to create extra cap space. Last season Lawrence earned second-team All-Pro honors after notching 53 tackles and 4.5 sacks. He's entering the second season of a four-year, $87.5 million contract extension inked last May.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Enjoys All-Pro campaign in 2023
Rotowire
Lawrence finished the regular season with 53 tackles (32 solo), including 4.5 sacks, over 16 games.
Lawrence didn't stuff the stat sheet, and his numbers were lower across the board in comparison to his 2022 campaign, but his impact on New York's defense continued to be as enormous as his physical stature. For his excellence, the fifth-year nose tackle earned his second straight selection as both a Pro Bowler and an AP Second Team All-Pro. The Giants appear wise to have inked Lawrence to a four-year extension last May, as he's set to anchor the team's defensive front for years to come.

Rotowire
Lawrence (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The All-Pro defensive tackle had been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, but it seems that he's had enough time to move past the issue. Lawrence has recorded 50 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, through 14 games this season, and he'll look to cause problems for a red-hot Rams offense in Week 17.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Practices in limited fashion
Rotowire
Lawrence (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Lawrence was able to play through his hamstring issue in Week 16, but this injury still seems to be hindering the 26-year-old. Despite being able to up his participation Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session, the All-Pro defensive tackle could very well carry an injury designation into the weekend if he doesn't practice in full Friday.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Lawrence (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Lawrence has been able to suit up the past two weeks after missing the Giants' Week 12 win over the Patriots, but his hamstring issue still seems to be lingering and he's listed as questionable for Monday's contest. If the All-Pro defensive tackle is unable to suit up in Week 16, expect Jordon Riley to see increased work on New York's defensive line.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Sidelined to start week
Rotowire
Lawrence (hamstring) is not practicing Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lawrence has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue for multiple weeks now but has played in each of the Giants' last two games, which bodes well for his potential availability Week 16 against the Eagles. However, the 2019 first-round selection will likely need to get back on the practice field ahead of Monday's game to suit up for the contest.

Rotowire
Lawrence (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lawrence was a limited participant in practice all week and will be good to go for Sunday's contest. He has 44 tackles (25 solo), including 4.5 sacks, in 12 games this year, though he played a season-low 28 defensive snaps in Week 14 against the Packers while playing through a hamstring issue.

Rotowire
Lawrence (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lawrence was able to play through his hamstring injury Monday versus the Packers, so he should be considered to be on the 'probable' end of the questionable designation. If he can't go, Rakeem Nunez-Roches will be in line to see an expanded role.

Lawrence (hamstring) is active versus the Packers on Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lawrence is set to return to action after missing the team's Week 12 victory over the Patriots with a hamstring injury. The 2019 first-round pick will now look to help the Giants slow down AJ Dillon and the rest of Green Bay's offense.

Rotowire
Lawrence (hamstring) will not practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lawrence was unable to practice Tuesday and still appears to be suffering from the injury he suffered in Week 11 against the Commanders. With the Giants not playing until Monday against the Packers, the Clemson product will have three more chances to get on the field and practice in some capacity to increase his chances of suiting up in Week 14.

Rotowire
Lawrence (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Lawrence (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Lawrence has yet to practice this week and will likely need to get on the field Friday to increase his chances of suiting up against the Patriots on Sunday.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Disruptive in Week 7 win
Rotowire
Lawrence racked up six tackles (two solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 14-7 win against Washington.
The Giants put Commanders QB Sam Howell under heavy pressure early, and Lawrence led the way with 1.5 first-half sacks. The veteran nose tackle added another half-sack in the third period, finishing with two sacks after entering the contest with none through his first six games of the campaign. Lawrence recorded a career-best 7.5 sacks last season, and he'll look to build on Sunday's strong performance to get closer to that mark in Week 8 against the Jets.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Nabs two tackles in preseason game
Rotowire
Lawrence recorded two tackles (both solo) in a win over the Panthers in an exhibition contest Friday.
Lawrence didn't play in the Giants' preseason opener last week but got some reps in Friday's victory. The star defensive tackle is coming off a breakout 2022 campaign during which he recorded career-high marks in tackles (68) and sacks (7.5) while being named both an All-Pro and a Pro-Bowler. Lawrence should be a force on the Giants' defensive front again this year and is a viable option in fantasy leagues that include IDPs.

Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Won't report for start of OTAs
Rotowire
Lawrence isn't expected to report for the beginning of the Giants' offseason program Monday as he seeks a resolution to his contract situation, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Lawrence is coming off a season-high 7.5 sacks and his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2022, but he remains without a long-term deal. The Giants selected him in the first round of the NFL Draft in 2019 and have watched him blossom into one of the league's top defensive tackles, and Lawrence is now entering his fifth season with the club. General manager Joe Schoen said in early March that the team was in talks with Lawrence about a potential long-term deal, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, but it's unclear where that discussion currently stands.
