OXNARD, Calif. -- Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence will open training camp on the physically unable to perform list because of offseason back surgery, the third of his career.
"It's more of a cleanup, so there's no high concern," coach Mike McCarthy said before the Cowboys' first training camp practice. "He looks great. It's probably more us than him as far as the timeline of him coming back."
Lawrence did not participate in the organized team activities or minicamp, but the surgery was not disclosed until Thursday. Lawrence had back surgeries in 2016 and '17 that helped correct an issue that first appeared in 2015.
