The Cowboys can’t catch a break at defensive end.
They lost Sam Williams for the season on July 28 when he tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee. They lost DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons last week, with Lawrence now out at least four games on injured reserve with a foot injury and Parsons inactive tonight with a high ankle sprain.
They didn’t even make it through one series Sunday night before rookie Marshawn Kneeland, starting his first career game, left with a knee injury.
He began limping after tackling Steelers quarterback Justin Fields on a 5-yard run with 11:04 remaining in the first quarter.
