The Top Offseason Goal for Every NFL Team That Missed the Playoffs

Logs just 0.5 sacks in 2025-26 Lawrence playing in all 17 games during the regular season, recording 31 tackles (including 0.5 sacks) and four defensed passes (including an interception).

Impact Lawrence looked like he could be emerging as an elite sack artist after recording 9.0 sacks through seven games last season, but since then he's managed just a half-sack across 22 contests. The big man was still good against the run and tangentially helped New York's pass rush, but his numbers as a fantasy IDP were far from alluring. Lawrence has two years remaining on the contract extension he signed in 2024.

Ready to rock Lawrence (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

Impact 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.

Misses practice with illness Lawrence (illness) did not participate at practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact 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.

Cleared to play vs. Washington Lawrence (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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.

Listed as questionable for Week 15 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.

Impact Lawrence appears to have picked up a hamstring injury during Friday's practice, making his status for Sunday's divisional matchup legitimately uncertain. If the All-Pro defensive lineman isn't able to play Week 15, the Giants will be reliant on D.J. Davidson (illness) to gain clearance and fill in at nose tackle.

Ready to rock Lawrence (elbow) has no injury designation ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

DNP again Thursday Lawrence (elbow) did not participate in Thursday's estimated practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact 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.

Nursing elbow injury Lawrence (elbow) will not practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact 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.
