The Dallas Cowboys signed K.J. Henry off the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice squad on Tuesday after placing fellow defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence on injured reserve.
Lawrence sustained a Lisfranc injury to his right foot in the third quarter of last Thursday’s 20-15 road win against the New York Giants. The four-time Pro Bowl selection is not expected to have surgery but will need four to eight weeks to recover.
Lawrence, 32, has three sacks and 14 tackles in 14 starts this season. He has 61.5 sacks, 21 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries and two interceptions in 141 games (123 starts) since Dallas drafted him in the second round in 2014.
Henry, 25, was a fifth-round pick by Washington in 2023 and recorded 1.5 sacks and 19 tackles in 10 games (three starts) for the Commanders as a rookie.
Waived by Washington on Aug. 27, Henry signed with the Bengals and has played a total of 11 snaps on defense and seven on special teams in two games this season.
In addition to Lawrence’s absence, the Cowboys (2-2) are preparing to play Sunday night at Pittsburgh (3-1) without star pass-rusher Micah Parsons due to a left high-ankle sprain.
