Lawrence agreed Thursday to restructure his contract with the Giants, creating $7.5 million in cap space for the team, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

New York converted $10 million of Lawrence's base salary into a signing bonus, and pushed $7.5 million of that total into future years to create extra cap space. Last season Lawrence earned second-team All-Pro honors after notching 53 tackles and 4.5 sacks. He's entering the second season of a four-year, $87.5 million contract extension inked last May.

Lawrence finished the regular season with 53 tackles (32 solo), including 4.5 sacks, over 16 games.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence didn't stuff the stat sheet, and his numbers were lower across the board in comparison to his 2022 campaign, but his impact on New York's defense continued to be as enormous as his physical stature. For his excellence, the fifth-year nose tackle earned his second straight selection as both a Pro Bowler and an AP Second Team All-Pro. The Giants appear wise to have inked Lawrence to a four-year extension last May, as he's set to anchor the team's defensive front for years to come.

Lawrence (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The All-Pro defensive tackle had been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, but it seems that he's had enough time to move past the issue. Lawrence has recorded 50 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, through 14 games this season, and he'll look to cause problems for a red-hot Rams offense in Week 17.

Lawrence (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence was able to play through his hamstring issue in Week 16, but this injury still seems to be hindering the 26-year-old. He began the Giants' week of practice with an estimated DNP and he was able to upgrade to a limited session Thursday. The All-Pro defensive tackle could very well carry an injury designation into the weekend if he doesn't practice in full Friday.

Lawrence (hamstring) did not participate at the Giants' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence was able to play through his hamstring issue Monday, so any limitations at this point may be maintenance-related. Either way, he'll likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Lawrence (hamstring) is active for Monday's matchup against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence will play in a third straight game after missing the Giants' Week 12 win over the Patriots. He's been limited over the last two games, playing 28 and 26 defensive snaps, respectively, while totaling five tackles (one solo), including half a sack.

Lawrence (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence has been able to suit up the past two weeks after missing the Giants' Week 12 win over the Patriots, but his hamstring issue still seems to be lingering and he's listed as questionable for Monday's contest. If the All-Pro defensive tackle is unable to suit up in Week 16, expect Jordon Riley to see increased work on New York's defensive line.

Lawrence (hamstring) is not practicing Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue for multiple weeks now but has played in each of the Giants' last two games, which bodes well for his potential availability Week 16 against the Eagles. However, the 2019 first-round selection will likely need to get back on the practice field ahead of Monday's game to suit up for the contest.

Lawrence (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence was a limited participant in practice all week and will be good to go for Sunday's contest. He has 44 tackles (25 solo), including 4.5 sacks, in 12 games this year, though he played a season-low 28 defensive snaps in Week 14 against the Packers while playing through a hamstring issue.

Lawrence (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence was able to play through his hamstring injury Monday versus the Packers, so he should be considered to be on the 'probable' end of the questionable designation. If he can't go, Rakeem Nunez-Roches will be in line to see an expanded role.
