Ramping up workload Lawrence saw some reps during the full team practice Friday, DallasCowboys.com reports.

Impact The veteran pass rusher underwent offseason back surgery and the Cowboys have been bringing Lawrence along slowly since activating him from the PUP list in early August, but his workload is now on the upswing as Week 1 approaches. The 29-year-old hasn't missed a game since 2016 despite ongoing back woes -- which the surgery was intended to correct -- but Lawrence has managed only 11.5 sacks over the last two seasons combined. If he's 100 percent healthy again and can stay that way, he should be capable of a rebound campaign.

Activated from PUP list The Cowboys activated Lawrence (back) from the PUP list Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lawrence isn't yet ready to resume practicing, but he's at least managed to pass his physical. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he expects Lawrence to return to practice mid-August, and if that's indeed how things play out, there won't be any reason to worry about his status for Week 1.

Finishing rehab from back surgery Lawrence has been placed on the PUP list for the start of training camp after undergoing back surgery this offseason, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It was the third back surgery of Lawrence's career, but coach Mike McCarthy says it was "more of a cleanup" and suggested the defensive end should be ready to practice soon. Lawrence has recorded only 11.5 sacks in 32 games the past two seasons, down from 25 sacks in 32 games over the previous two years (2017-18), despite ostensibly still being in his prime (he turned 29 in April). Part of the issue is a lack of pass-rush help, which the Cowboys haven't done much to address.

Another lackluster season Lawrence recorded 58 tackles (34 solo) while adding 6.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, two passes defended and a fumble recovery over 16 games in 2020.

Impact The veteran defensive end once again gave it his all on the field without seeing much in the way of IDP production. Lawrence did have his moments -- 4.5 of his sacks came during a seven-game stretch in the middle of the season -- but he doesn't get enough help in the pass rush to avoid extra attention from opposition blockers. Randy Gregory did have a couple of big games in the second half, however, and if he can take a step forward and present a consistent threat, Lawrence could be freed up to get after the QB more often in 2021.

Reaches 50 tackles Lawrence made five tackles (three solo), a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers.

Impact With 5.5 sacks through 14 games, Lawrence has surpassed last year's five-sack mark, but he'll finish well short of the career-high 14.5 sacks he posted in 2017. In that season, Lawrence also posted a career-best 64 tackles. That number is within reason this year, as the veteran defensive end has registered 50 stops thus far.
