Dexter Lawrence II Injury News & Updates
Oct 5, 2025
Available in Week 5
Lawrence (illness) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite not practicing in any capacity during Week 5 prep due to an illness, Lawrence will be available to the Giants defense Sunday. Whether or not he'll be able to handle his typical workload of roughly two-thirds of the defensive snaps remains to be seen, but he's managed just nine tackles and the first interception of his seven-year career through four contests this season.
Oct 3, 2025
Questionable to face New Orleans
Lawrence (illness) did not participate in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence has been under the weather all week, which prevented him participating in practice. The 2019 first-rounder will have the weekend to recover from his illness, but his official status for Sunday's game may not be announced until approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00pm ET kickoff. D.J. Davidson -- who has been cleared to play after nursing a foot injury this past week -- would be in line for a bigger role on the Giants' defensive interior if Lawrence is not cleared to play.
Oct 2, 2025
Under the weather
Lawrence did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence is coming off a Week 4 win over the Chargers in which he recorded the first interception of his seven-year NFL career. He's missed the first two practices of the week due to an illness, but even if he's unable to practice Friday, he could recover enough over the weekend to be cleared to play against the Saints on Sunday. D.J. Davidson (foot) would be in line to see more snaps at defensive tackle if Lawrence is unable to play.
Sep 9, 2025
Tallies three tackles
Lawrence logged three tackles in the Giants' loss versus the Commanders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence didn't have his best outing Sunday as he failed to record a solo tackle. The All-Pro nose tackle will look to improve upon his performance from Sunday's loss during the team's Week 2 matchup versus the Cowboys.
Sep 3, 2025
Fades injury report
Lawrence (elbow) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence missed the final five games of the 2024 regular season due to a dislocated elbow. He didn't play in any of the Giants' preseason games, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates he'll be available for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Commanders. Despite playing in just 12 regular-season games in 2024, Lawrence still finished with a career-high 9.0 sacks along with 44 total tackles, one pass defense and one forced fumble.
Jul 24, 2025
Incentives added to contract
The Giants added $3 million in incentives to Lawrence's (elbow) current contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence is set to make $17 million this season in addition to the added incentives, and the 2019 first-rounder is under contract with the Giants through 2027. Despite missing the final five games of the 2024 regular season due to a dislocated left elbow, Lawrence still managed to log a career-high 9.0 sacks through 12 games.
Jan 9, 2025
Logs career-best sack total in 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 2, 2024
Goes on IR
Lawrence (elbow) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 29, 2024
Getting MRI
Lawrence will have an MRI on his elbow in the next few days, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 28, 2024
Dislocates shoulder vs. Dallas
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 28, 2024
Ruled out due to elbow injury
Lawrence (elbow) will not return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 22, 2024
Past knee issue
Lawrence (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 20, 2024
Opens week with limited work
Lawrence (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 4, 2024
Posts six stops in Sunday's loss
Lawrence recorded six tackles (one solo) in a Week 9 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 26, 2024
All good for Week 8
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 25, 2024
Limited Friday
Lawrence (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Steelers, as he upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited session Friday. His participation Saturday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through his hip injury in Week 8.
Oct 24, 2024
Unable to practice Thursday
Lawrence (hip) is not practicing Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence managed to play through his hip injury during New York's loss to the Eagles in Week 7, though he handled a season-low 58 percent of snaps. Despite a managed workload, Lawrence still managed to log five solo tackles and 2.0 sacks. Lawrence has already racked up a career-high 9.0 sacks in seven appearances, so as long as he's able to suit up Monday versus the Steelers, he'll remain a must-start fantasy option in IDP formats.
Oct 21, 2024
Dominant once again
Lawrence logged five tackles (five solo), with 2.0 sacks, in the Giants' loss Sunday to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was dealing with a hip injury throughout the week but managed to play through and record his third multi-sack game of the campaign. The 2019 first-round pick's dominant season continues, as he's already racked up a career-high 9.0 sacks in just seven games played.
Oct 20, 2024
Good to go vs. Eagles
Lawrence (hip) is active for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence opened the week with consecutive DNPs, but he was able to draw a questionable tag after practicing in a limited capacity Friday. He's unlikely to be at 100 percent health, but he will play through the hip injury in Sunday's NFC East showdown. The 2019 first-round pick has logged 7.0 sacks through the first six games of the regular season, which is tied with Will McDonald for second-most in the NFL behind Aidan Hutchinson's (tibula/fibula) 7.5 sacks.
Oct 18, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Lawrence (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence upgraded to a limited session Friday after logging back-to-back DNPs to begin the Giants' week of practice, so it appears he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. However, if the All-Pro defensive tackle is unable to suit up in Week 7, expect Jordon Riley to see additional snaps with the Giants' first-team defense.
Oct 17, 2024
DNP on Thursday
Lawrence (hip) did not participate in Thursday's practice session, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence has been sidelined during the Giants' first two practices of the week due to a hip injury. The All-Pro defensive tackle has indicated that he intends to play Sunday against the Eagles, but he'll need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to avoid an injury designation. Lawrence has registered 19 tackles (12 solo), including 7.0 sacks, and one pass breakup through the first six games of the regular season.
Oct 16, 2024
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Lawrence (hip) did not practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite Wednesday's DNP, Lawrence told Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News that he'll be playing in the Giants' Week 7 matchup against the Eagles. Lawrence has dominated through the Giants' first six games, recording 19 total tackles, including 7.0 sacks, and one defended pass. Expect the All-Pro defensive tackle to continue playing through injury unless he logs another DNP either Thursday or Friday.
Oct 7, 2024
Dominant in Week 5
Lawrence recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 3.0 sacks, in Sunday's 29-20 win over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
The All-Pro defensive lineman was a significant part of the Giants' defensive success in Sunday's win, sacking Geno Smith three times and logging one additional quarterback hit. Lawrence has now accumulated 16 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and defended one pass across the Giants' first five contests. He's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing offenses as the Bengals travel to New York in Week 6.
Sep 25, 2024
Ready for Week 4
Lawrence (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was dealing with a foot injury after his two-sack performance against the Browns in Week 3, but it now appears he'll play through the pain Thursday night. Expect the 26-year-old to continue serving as the Giants' top interior defensive lineman in Week 4's divisional matchup against the Cowboys.
Sep 23, 2024
Dealing with foot injury
Lawrence (foot) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 9, 2024
Logs Week 1 sack
Lawrence recorded three tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
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.
Aug 18, 2024
Sees first preseason action
Lawrence didn't notch any tackles but deflected a pass in Saturday's preseason loss against Houston.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 21, 2024
Clears cap space with restructure
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 12, 2024
Enjoys All-Pro campaign in 2023
Lawrence finished the regular season with 53 tackles (32 solo), including 4.5 sacks, over 16 games.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 29, 2023
Ready for Sunday
Lawrence (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The All-Pro defensive tackle had been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, but it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. Lawrence has recorded 50 total tackles and 4.5 sacks through 14 games this season, and he'll look to cause problems for a red-hot Rams offense in Week 17.
Dec 28, 2023
Practices in limited fashion
Lawrence (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was able to play through his hamstring issue in Week 16, but this injury still seems to be hindering the 26-year-old. He began the Giants' week of practice with an estimated DNP and he was able to upgrade to a limited session Thursday. The All-Pro defensive tackle could very well carry an injury designation into the weekend if he doesn't practice in full Friday.
Dec 27, 2023
Still dealing with hamstring injury
Lawrence (hamstring) did not participate at the Giants' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was able to play through his hamstring issue Monday, so any limitations at this point may be maintenance-related. Either way, he'll likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Dec 25, 2023
Good to go
Lawrence (hamstring) is active for Monday's matchup against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence will play in a third straight game after missing the Giants' Week 12 win over the Patriots. He's been limited over the last two games, playing 28 and 26 defensive snaps, respectively, while totaling five tackles (one solo) and half a sack.
Dec 23, 2023
Questionable for Monday
Lawrence (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 20, 2023
Sidelined to start week
Lawrence (hamstring) is not practicing Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 17, 2023
Suiting up versus New Orleans
Lawrence (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 15, 2023
Questionable for Sunday at Saints
Lawrence (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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 though, Rakeem Nunez-Roches will be in line to see an expanded role.
Dec 13, 2023
Considered limited Wednesday
Lawrence (hamstring) was considered to be a limited participant at the Giants' walkthrough Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was able to play through his hamstring injury in Monday's win over the Packers, recording three tackles, including a half-sack, in the contest. He'll look to increase his workload at practice before the end of the week prior to Sunday's matchup with the Saints.
Dec 11, 2023
Suiting up versus Green Bay
Lawrence (hamstring) is slated to play versus the Packers on Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 9, 2023
Questionable for MNF
Lawrence (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Packers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence sustained a hamstring injury in Week 11 against the Commanders and wasn't able to play the following week. The Giants are coming off their bye week and Lawrence was able to log limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, giving him a fair shot of returning for Monday's game. The 2019 first-round pick has 41 tackles (25 solo), including four sacks, in 11 games this season.
Dec 7, 2023
Limited work Thursday
Lawrence (hamstring) was estimated as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2019 first-round pick still seems to be working back from the hamstring injury that he suffered late in the Giants' Week 11 win over the Commanders. Luckily for Lawrence, New York doesn't play until Monday night, so the 26-year-old nose tackle still has two more practice sessions before Week 14's contest. Unless Lawrence is able to log a full practice Friday or Saturday, he'll likely carry an injury designation into Monday night's affair.
Dec 6, 2023
Still not practicing
Lawrence (hamstring) will not practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 26, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Lawrence (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence came into the day doubtful, so this was the likeliest scenario for the Clemson product. He'll work to return after the team's bye week against the Packers on Dec. 11.
Nov 24, 2023
Doubtful for Sunday
Lawrence (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence told reporters that he hurt his hamstring during Isaiah Simmons' pick-six during the Giants' Week 11 win over the Commanders, and it's been getting better day-by-day, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. The All-Pro defensive tackle was unable to practice all week, making it unlikely that he's able to suit up for Week 12. Jordon Riley is the next man up at nose tackle for the Giants' if Lawrence can't go Sunday.
Nov 23, 2023
Sitting out again
Lawrence (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
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. The Clemson product has yet to miss a game this season and his potential absence would be a blow to the interior of the team's defensive line.
Oct 23, 2023
Disruptive in Week 7 win
Lawrence racked up six tackles (two solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 14-7 win against Washington.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 12, 2023
Compiles four tackles in loss
Lawrence recorded four tackles (one solo) in the Giants' 40-0 loss to the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was unable to make a huge impact in Week 1, but the nose tackle is coming off of an impressive campaign in 2022 where he compiled 68 tackles, including a career-high 7.5 sacks. He'll look to be more involved in Week 2 versus the Cardinals.
Aug 19, 2023
Nabs two tackles in preseason game
Lawrence recorded two tackles (both solo) in a win over the Panthers in an exhibition contest Friday.
ANALYSIS
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 fine option in fantasy leagues that include IDPs.
May 4, 2023
Inks four-year extension
Lawrence has agreed to a four-year, $90 million contract extension with the Giants that includes $60 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Schefter, the deal makes Lawrence the third highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL. The 2019 first-rounder is coming off a 2022 campaign in which he notched 68 tackles and 7.5 sacks in 16 games, and now that the 25-year-old's contract situation has been settled, Lawrence is set to continue in his key role as a starter along the Giants' defensive line.
May 4, 2023
Inks four-year extension
Lawrence has agreed to a four-year, $90 million contract extension with the Giants, that includes $60 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Schefter, the deal makes Lawrence the third highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL. The 2019 first-rounder is coming off a 2022 campaign in which he notched 68 tackles and 7.5 sacks in 16 games, and now that the 25-year-old's contract situation has been settled, Lawrence is set to continue in his key role as a starter along the Giants' defensive line.
Apr 13, 2023
Won't report for start of OTAs
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 11, 2023
Paces Giants with 7.5 sacks
Lawrence totaled 68 tackles (35 solo), including 7.5 sacks, along with two forced fumbles and three pass defenses across 16 games during the regular season.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence's 825 defensive snaps on the campaign were a career high, as was his team-leading sack total. The fourth-year pro played in every game for New York from Week 1 to Week 17 before resting for the season finale ahead of what will be his first career playoff game. Lawrence made the Pro Bowl and the All-Pro team for the first time this season and is on the books for $12.4 million in 2023, though New York will likely explore a contract extension for arguably its best defensive player.
Jan 8, 2023
Not playing Sunday
Lawrence (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence will get to rest Sunday, as the team is already locked into the No. 6 seed of the NFC playoffs. He'll return in the wild-card round, while Justin Ellis and Ryder Anderson will be candidates for extra opportunities against Philadelphia in Week 18..
Dec 4, 2022
Notches sixth sack
Lawrence finished Sunday's 20-20 tie with Washington with nine tackles (four solo), including one sack.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence tied for second on the Giants with nine stops in the contest and got to Taylor Heinecke on a third-and-13 early in the fourth quarter. The sack pushed the Commanders back six yards, and Joey Slye's subsequent field-goal attempt from 52 yards out missed wide right. Lawrence has already set a career high with six sacks on the season.
Nov 21, 2022
Seven tackles in Week 11
Lawrence (back) totaled seven tackles (three solo) and one quarterback hit in Sunday's 31-18 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence's practice reps were capped throughout the week, but he suited up Sunday and didn't appear to be limited while setting a new season high in tackles. His strong play has been instrumental to New York's 7-3 start, as Lawrence has totaled 40 tackles and five sacks.
Nov 20, 2022
Active versus Detroit
Lawrence (back) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was sidelined to start Week 11 prep and logged back-to-back limited sessions Thursday and Friday due to a back injury, but he'll still suit up Sunday. Across nine appearances, the 25-year-old has totaled 33 tackles, five sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble while playing a prominent role along the Giants' defensive line.
Nov 18, 2022
Week 11 status up in the air
Lawrence (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing Wednesday's session to open Week 11 prep due to a back issue, Lawrence returned in a limited fashion in each of Thursday's and Friday's practices. The 25-year-old is currently at risk of being sidelined for his first game of the season, and if that's eventually the case, then Justin Ellis would be in line to serve as the Giants' starting defensive tackle Sunday versus Detroit.
Nov 17, 2022
Limited in practice Thursday
Lawrence (back) was listed as a limited participant during practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence popped up with a back injury on the Giants' first injury report Week 11 and was sidelined during practice Wednesday. While the defensive appeared to trend in the right direction during Thursday's session, he'll still likely need to log a full practice Friday to remove any questions regarding his availability heading into Sunday's game against the Lions. Lawrence has recorded 33 tackles, five sacks and two passes defended over nine games this season, and, if health, he should play a primary role in slowing down Detroit's effective rushing attack Week 11.
Nov 16, 2022
Logs DNP Wednesday
Lawrence (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence played 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps against the Texans in Week 10, totaling five tackles, one sack and one pass defense, but he presumably picked up a back injury as well. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but the 2019 first-round pick will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
Nov 14, 2022
Dominates Houston in victory
Lawrence posted five tackles (one solo) and one sack Sunday in a 24-16 win over the Texans in Week 10.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence gave Houston's offensive line a major headache Sunday, as he racked up five quarterback hits and was constantly in the backfield. His five tackles tied a season high, and he's racked up at least one sack in four of his past six games. Lawrence leads New York with five sacks this season, and he's already established a career-high mark in that category.

Notches another sack
Lawrence tallied five tackles (four solo), including one sack, in New York's 27-22 win over Green Bay in London on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence's sack was a big one, as it came on a third-and-eight play from the Giants' 36 yard line. The Packers were up by a touchdown at the time, and the takedown knocked them out of field-goal range. Lawrence has tallied three sacks over his past two contests, allowing him to already surpass the total of 2.5 sacks he posted last season.

Comes up big Sunday
Lawrence registered five tackles, including two sacks, along with three quarterback hits in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was a major factor in New York's ability to stifle Chicago's passing game, as he was constantly applying pressure from the interior. He's played well all season but didn't yet have a sack until he notched two of them Sunday. With the big performance, he's already halfway to the career-high total of four sacks that he posted in 2020.

Contract option picked up
The Giants have elected to pick up Lawrence's fifth-year contract option, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
As a result, the No. 17 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft is guaranteed to earn $10.8 million for the 2023 season and slated to maintain his role as a key cog in the Giants' defensive front line for the next couple of years. The 6-foot-4, 342-pounder is coming off a 2021 campaign in which he recorded 54 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 16 games.

Activated off reserve/COVID-19 list
Lawrence was activated off of the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive end missed Week 17 after testing positive for COVID-19 on Dec. 29, but returned to the team Wednesday ahead of their Week 18 game against Washington. Lawrence did not practice Wednesday though, so his practice status is worth monitoring in the coming days.

Won'y play in Week 17
The Giants placed Lawrence (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence has tested positive for COVID-19 and won't be available for Sunday's Week 17 matchup against Chicago, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. Raymond Johnson could take on a starting role in Lawrence's absence.
Dec 14, 2021
Sack in loss
Lawrence tallied seven tackles (four solo) and a sack in the 37-21 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With his great performance Sunday, Lawrence tied his game-high tackle total of the season while also increasing his sack numbers to two and a half on the year. In addition, the young pass rusher was able to record a tackle for loss and three quarterback hits. Lawrence was the lone bright spot on a Giants defense that got exploited by Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense.

Wraps 2020 with four sacks
Lawrence notched 53 tackles (30 solo), four sacks and two defended passes across 16 games in 2020.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence put up career-high numbers across the board despite playing over 50 defensive snaps less than he did as a rookie in 2019. Heading into his third season with the Giants, Lawrence will be on the IDP radar due to his demonstrated consistency racking up tackles, but his lack of upside as a pass rusher will cap his fantasy ceiling.

Gearing up Sunday
Lawrence (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence hasn't missed a game since entering the league as a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and he'll stay in the lineup Sunday. The Clemson product has just one sack through five games, but he's notched at least four tackles in each contest while maintaining a consistent snap count.
Oct 16, 2020
Questionable but likely playing
Lawrence (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, Art Stapleton of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Stapleton adds that there's little cause for alarm concerning Lawrence or teammate Darius Slayton (foot), so both are expected to be out there come Sunday despite their questionable designations. The 2019 first-rounder hasn't picked up a sack since Week 1, but he has at least four tackles in every game this season and 23 in five games overall.
Oct 6, 2020
Records six tackels
Lawrence had six tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence played 42 of 57 defensive snaps and finished second on the team in tackles. The 22-year-old has 19 tackles (12 solo) and one sack through the first four games of the season.
Sep 13, 2019
Clear for Week 2
Lawrence (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence started the week as a limited practice participant due to the shoulder issue, but he was able to avoid the questionable tag. The 21-year-old played 28 defensive snaps and had one assisted tackle during his NFL debut last week.
Sep 11, 2019
Limited in Wednesday's practice
Lawrence (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence appears to have injured his shoulder during Sunday's season-opening loss to the Cowboys, during which he recorded one assisted tackle. The rookie first-round pick will work to get fully healthy ahead of New York's tilt against the Bills in Week 2.
