Giants DT Dexter Lawrence may be done for season

New York Giants star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is likely out for the season with an elbow injury.

The two-time Pro Bowler exited Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the second half with a dislocated elbow.

On Friday, head coach Brian Daboll announced that Lawrence, 27, will be out "long term."

"I would say that I anticipate it being long-term injury, the rest of the season," Daboll said. "Still going to have to take a look at a few different things, but not very optimistic about it."

The Giants (2-10) have dropped seven straight games and have five games remaining on the schedule.

Lawrence has recorded a career-high nine sacks with 44 tackles and 16 QB hits in 12 starts this season.

He said the injury occurred during a friendly-fire collision with Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke.

"I overextended, and Bobby came crashing down and it popped out of place," Lawrence said after the Thanksgiving loss in Texas, per the New York Post. "I looked at him and said, 'You just popped my elbow out of place.' And then I thought, 'I wonder if this is what shock feels like.'"

Named to the Pro Bowl the previous two campaigns, Lawrence has 30 sacks and 310 tackles in 92 games (85 starts) since New York drafted him 17th overall in 2019 out of Clemson.
