EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants standout defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is expected to return from a hamstring injury and play Monday night against the Green Bay Packers, sources told ESPN.
Lawrence missed his first career game because of injury (against the New England Patriots) before the Giants' bye week. But the Giants eased him in at practice this week with the hope of having him return Monday night.
The Pro Bowl lineman returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday. Coach Brian Daboll said on Saturday that he was "hopeful" that Lawrence would be able to play against the Packers.
