Bills defense looks to rebound after consecutive losses
The usually stingy Buffalo Bills defense has yet to find its identity this seasonOCTOBER 22, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Available for Week 6 Lawson (shoulder) will play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact It was reported earlier Sunday that Lawson would be expected to play after managing a trio of limited practice sessions throughout the week, so this news is a positive sign for the team. With Kyle Van Noy (groin) missing Sunday's game, expect Lawson to draw a start, with Sam Eguavoen and Andrew Van Ginkel managing snaps at the other strongside linebacker position.

Likely to play Sunday Lawson (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, is expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Conversely, the Dolphins' other starting outside linebacker, Kyle Van Noy (groin) is considered much less likely to play than Lawson, despite also being listed as questionable. Through four outings this season, Lawson has compiled 10 tackles and one sack.

Officially questionable Lawson (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Impact Lawson couldn't suit up Week 5 versus San Francisco, but he's now managed to put together a trio of limited practice sessions. It looks as though Lawson is trending in the right direction, but if he is forced to miss any more time, Andrew Van Ginkel remains on hand and ready to draw another start.

Limited in Wednesday's session Lawson (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Lawson's still bothered by the shoulder injury that kept him out of last week's win over San Francisco, but he'll hope to heal up in time to take on the Jets on Sunday. If Lawson is forced to sit again, Andrew Van Ginkel should continue to play an expanded role.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Lawson (shoulder/illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coach Brian Flores said Monday that he's not worried about the shoulder injury Lawson suffered against the Seahawks last week, but it's still troublesome to see the defensive end kick off the week with a missed practice. Look for Lawson's practice participation to climb as the week unfolds before you can feel comfortable about his availability for Sunday's game in San Francisco.

Expected to be fine Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Lawson is expected to be fine after suffering a shoulder injury during Sunday's win over the Dolphins, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact Lawson's practice capacity Wednesday will be revealing, but it appears he'll play Week 5 against the 49ers. The 2016 first-round pick has recorded seven quarterback pressures and a sack through four games with the Dolphins. If he suffers a setback and is forced to miss time, expect Andrew Van Ginkel and Sam Eguavoen to rotate in at weak-side linebacker.

Hit with injury against Seahawks Lawson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Seattle, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact The 2016 first-round draft choice was able to register his first sack of the season Sunday, taking down Russell Wilson at the 2:49 mark of the third quarter to bring up a third-down and 24 for Seattle. Unfortunately, on that very same play, Lawson was slow to get up, convincing Miami's training staff to take a closer look at him. The 26-year-old remains sidelined but has a chance to make it back during Week 4 if he proves healthy enough to go.

Cleared for Thursday's tilt Lawson (hip) practiced in full Wednesday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Battling hip injury Lawson (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Lawson suffered a hip injury in Sunday's loss to the Bills, but it's a positive sign that he would be practicing in some capacity if the Dolphins took the field Monday. He'll be closely monitored during the practice week leading up to Thursday's matchup versus the Jaguars.
