"Cowboys Ink DE K.J. Henry, Place DeMarcus Lawrence on Injured Reserve"
The Dallas Cowboys inked a deal with K.J. Henry from the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad on Tuesday, following the placement of fellow defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence on injured reserve.
Lawrence suffered a Lisfranc injury to his right foot during the third quarter of last week's 20-15 victory over the New York Giants. The four-time Pro Bowl selection is not expected to undergo surgery, but will require four to eight weeks to recover.
At 32 years old, Lawrence has accumulated three sacks and 14 tackles in 14 starts this season. Since being drafted by Dallas in the second round of the 2014 draft, he has recorded 61.5 sacks, 21 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries, and two interceptions in 141 games (123 starts).

Henry, 25, was selected in the fifth round by Washington in 2023 and tallied 1.5 sacks and 19 tackles in 10 games (three starts) for the Commanders during his rookie year.
After being waived by Washington on August 27, Henry joined 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 face the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1) on Sunday night without star pass-rusher Micah Parsons, who is dealing with a left high-ankle sprain.
