Dexter Lawrence's injury status

Dexter Lawrence did not participate in Wednesday's practice. The veteran defensive lineman sat out due to personal reasons.

Lawrence will be monitored in the days leading up to the New York Giants' Week 2 game against the Cowboys. He missed the last five games of the 2024 season due to a dislocated elbow.

Micah McFadden's injury status

Inside linebacker Micah McFadden will miss the Cowboys game. The starting ILB is dealing with a foot injury and won't recover soon enough to suit up in Week 2.

According to CBS Sports, Brian Daboll told reporters on Wednesday that McFadden won't play against America's team. McFadden's foot injury will require surgery, and he's set for a spell on the sidelines. Darius Muasau will likely take his place until he's fully recovered to step on the Gridiron.

Wan'Dale Robinson's injury status

Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson missed Wednesday's practice session. The versatile pass catcher is dealing with an ankle issue.

According to CBS Sports, Brian Daboll informed reporters that Robinson would be unable to practice on Wednesday. He likely suffered the injury in his side's loss to the Washington Commanders. He'll need to return to practice on Thursday or Friday to give himself a decent chance of suiting up against the Cowboys on Sunday.
