Lawrence logged three tackles in the Giants' loss versus the Commanders on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence didn't have his best outing Sunday as he failed to record a solo tackle. The All-Pro nose tackle will look to improve upon his performance from Sunday's loss during the team's Week 2 matchup versus the Cowboys.

Lawrence (elbow) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence missed the final five games of the 2024 regular season due to a dislocated elbow. He didn't play in any of the Giants' preseason games, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates he'll be available for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Commanders. Despite playing in just 12 regular-season games in 2024, Lawrence still finished with a career-high 9.0 sacks along with 44 total tackles, one pass defense and one forced fumble.

The Giants added $3 million in incentives to Lawrence's (elbow) current contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence is set to make $17 million this season in addition to the added incentives, and the 2019 first-rounder is under contract with the Giants through 2027. Despite missing the final five games of the 2024 regular season due to a dislocated left elbow, Lawrence still managed to log a career-high 9.0 sacks through 12 games.

Lawrence (elbow) tallied 44 tackles (23 solo), including 9.0 sacks, along with a defensed pass and a forced fumble over 12 games (all starts) during the regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence missed the final five games of the campaign due to a dislocated elbow, but prior to the injury he was putting together another dominant season. Among other things, the big defensive tackle registered a career-best 9.0 sacks, all of which came in New York's first seven games. Lawrence is signed through the 2027 campaign and should be healthy by the start of next season, when he'll be looked to as the heart of the Giants' defense once again.

Lawrence (elbow) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence dislocated his elbow in Thursday's game against the Cowboys and was expected to miss the remainder of the season. His move to injured reserve all but assures it, as the Giants will only have their Week 18 game remaining once he's eligible to return to the active roster.

Lawrence will have an MRI on his elbow in the next few days, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence dislocated his elbow in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to Dallas. While the MRI will provide insight into the extent of the injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the All-Pro nose tackle is expected to miss the rest of the campaign. It's a big blow to the Giants defense, as Lawrence has been dominant this season and leads the team with 9.0 sacks.

Lawrence (elbow) said he dislocated his elbow during Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys and is not sure on a potential timeline to return, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence is expected to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, although Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reported that the defensive tackle was spotted in a sling with what Lawrence described as a "popped elbow." Lawrence logged three tackles (two solo) before leaving Thursday's game due to the injury.

Lawrence (elbow) will not return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence suffered an elbow injury in the third quarter, and after being evaluated in the locker room, he will not return to Thursday's game. Jordan Riley will be the Giants' primary nose tackle for the rest of the game due to Lawrence's injury.

Lawrence (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The All-Pro defensive tackle had been dealing with a knee injury following the Giants' Week 11 bye, but it now appears he's moved past the issue in time for Sunday's matchup. Lawrence has been one of the NFL's most dominant defensive players this season, recording 38 total tackles, including 9.0 sacks, and defending one pass through 10 games. He's expected to serve as the team's top interior defensive lineman Sunday.

Lawrence (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence played through a hip issue in the Giants' most recent game against the Panthers in Week 10, but he's now picked up a knee injury following the team's Week 11 bye. His participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
