The Dallas Cowboys were awaiting word on two defensive stalwarts who got injured in their 20-15 win over the New York Giants on Thursday in East Rutherford, N.J.
Linebacker Micah Parsons hurt his left ankle in the fourth quarter. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence injured his right foot in the third quarter. Both will undergo MRI exams on Friday.
Parsons said postgame that X-rays on his ankle were negative. He added, according to ESPN, “Right now, I just iced it. I know very little. I’ve got an MRI (scheduled for Friday), and I’m going to try to get back next week.”
The Athletic reported that Parsons was limping in the locker room but that he told Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, “I’ll be good.”
Parsons got hurt with 3:30 left as he was being blocked low by guard Greg Van Roten and high by center John Michael Schmitz Jr. Van Roten appeared to come down on the back of Parsons’ foot.
Lawrence said X-rays on his foot were negative, though he also is headed for an MRI exam, as well. He said, according to Yahoo Sports, “I’ll be back in no time.”
Both Parsons and Lawrence had two tackles and Monday, and Lawrence had a sack.
Parsons, 25, was selected a first-team All-Pro in two of his previous three NFL seasons, when he averaged 13.5 sacks per year.
Lawrence, 32, is a four-time Pro Bowl selection. He has 61.5 career sacks in 141 NFL games.
