Lawrence Undergoes Back Surgery

Saturday, Jan. 30

ESPNDallas.com's Todd Archer reported that Dallas' young pass-rusher recently had back surgery, and he will return to the field "when it matters."

Lawrence's agency DEC Management added Lawrence is "100% and will be good to go and have a huge season."

Head coach Jason Garrett did not have a timetable on Lawrence's return, but was not concerned about his health going forward, according to Archer.

“It was something that bothered him for a lot of the year,” Garrett said, per David Helman of DallasCowboys.com. “He obviously played through it, but he was dealing with it a little bit.”

Lawrence sent out this tweet on Thursday:

Lawrence recorded a career-high eight sacks in his second year out of Boise State and will be relied upon next year to become a top-tier defensive end for Dallas now that Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reported the Cowboys won't bring back Hardy next year.

Lawrence is one of the young pass-rushers the Cowboys feel will be a building block for the future. Dallas signed defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford to a five-year extension this season, and a healthy Randy Gregory could pay dividends for the Cowboys in 2016.

The Cowboys defense has potential, and a bulk of that belongs with Lawrence.
