Dallas Cowboys make Carl Lawson signing official, place offensive tackle on IR
The Dallas Cowboys officially announced the signing of defensive end Carl Lawson on Monday.
Lawson’s arrival is the latest move for a defensive line that has gone through a series of changes.
Defensive end Sam Williams’ season-ending knee injury on July 28 prompted the Cowboys to find a replacement. Initially, second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland was cast as the projected starter opposite DeMarcus Lawrence.
The Cowboys also worked out three players (Shaka Toney, Al-Quadin Muhammad and Lawson) following Williams’ injury. The team signed Toney and Muhammad in early August and each played in the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
But Toney suffered an injury and was waived/injured by the team last week.
In six NFL seasons, Lawson has 27 sacks. Two years ago, he signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the New York Jets. In 23 games, Lawson had seven sacks before he was let go.
He did not play in Saturday’s preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and should begin to practice with the team this week.
To clear the way for Lawson on the roster, the organization placed offensive tackle Earl Bostick on the reserve/injured list.
