Cowboys news: Dallas rookie pass-rushers will be counted on in DeMarcus Lawrence’s absence

With DeMarcus Lawrence missing time due to a foot injury, the Cowboys rookie pass rushers proved they can shoulder the burden.

When the Dallas Cowboys selected Micah Parsons in the first round, fans questioned their intent with the Penn State linebacker. Would he be used as nothing but a traditional off-ball linebacker like the top LB picks who came before him (Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith) or will Dallas use him to his fullest, moving him around and rushing the passer?

Dan Quinn gave us the answer in Week 1 when he sent Parsons after the passer 13 times (10 off the edge).
