Lawrence (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Despite missing practice Thursday and Friday due to an illness, Lawrence is ready to suit up for Sunday's season finale. The All-Pro defensive lineman has had an underwhelming 2025 campaign, tallying 30 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and four passes defensed, with one interception, over 16 appearances. Now fully healthy, he's expected to operate as the Giants' top interior defensive lineman in Week 18.

Lawrence (illness) did not participate at practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence was added to the injury report with an illness Thursday, missing the team's second practice of the week. The defensive tackle will have one more chance to return to practice and potentially avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.

Lawrence (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence popped up on Friday's injury report due to a hamstring issue, but he has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The 2019 first-rounder has accumulated 24 tackles (10 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three pass defenses (one interception) through 13 regular-season games.

Lawrence (hamstring) was added to Friday's injury report and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence appears to have picked up a hamstring injury during Friday's practice, making his status for Sunday's divisional matchup legitimately uncertain. With D.J. Davidson (illness) also listed as questionable, it's possible the Giants will be significantly depleted along the interior defensive line versus the Commanders.

Lawrence (elbow) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging consecutive DNPs to begin the Giants' week of practice, Lawrence will suit up for the Week 13 contest. The All-Pro defensive lineman has played in all 12 of New York's games this season, recording 24 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and three passes defensed. Now fully healthy, he's expected to wreak havoc on the Patriots' offensive line Monday night.

Lawrence (elbow) did not participate in Thursday's estimated practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence has now missed consecutive practices nursing an elbow injury and will need to practice Friday for a chance to suit up for Monday night's game against the Patriots. The starting nose tackle is an integral part of the Giants' defense, and D.J. Davidson will have to step up big time if Lawrence can't go.

Lawrence (elbow) will not practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Leonard, Lawrence is managing an injury to the same elbow he hurt last year, which limited him throughout the past offseason. The 28-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance at suiting up for Monday's matchup against the Patriots. If he's unable to play, expect D.J. Davidson to have an expanded role on the Giants' defensive line.

Lawrence (illness) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite not practicing in any capacity during Week 5 prep due to an illness, Lawrence will be available to the Giants defense Sunday. Whether he'll be able to handle his typical workload of roughly two thirds of the defensive snaps remains to be seen, but he's managed just nine tackles and the first interception of his seven-year career through four contests this season.

Lawrence (illness) did not participate in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence has been under the weather all week, which prevented him participating in practice. The 2019 first-rounder will have the weekend to recover from his illness, but his official status for Sunday's game may not be announced until approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00pm ET kickoff. D.J. Davidson -- who has been cleared to play after nursing a foot injury this past week -- would be in line for a bigger role on the Giants' defensive interior if Lawrence is not cleared to play.

Lawrence did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence is coming off a Week 4 win over the Chargers in which he recorded the first interception of his seven-year NFL career. He's missed the first two practices of the week due to an illness, but even if he's unable to practice Friday, he could recover enough over the weekend to be cleared to play against the Saints on Sunday. D.J. Davidson (foot) would be in line to see more snaps at defensive tackle if Lawrence is unable to play.
