A timetable for a possible return to football activities has not been disclosed yet, but Lawrence will have surgery on his back for the second consecutive offseason, per Davison.

The third-year pass-rusher was limited to just nine games in 2016. He was able to recover from his first back surgery from January 2016, but he was suspended for the first four games of the year due to a failed drug test.
