Giants' Dexter Lawrence Out for Season After Dislocated Elbow

The Pro Bowl defensive tackle's injury compounds New York's struggles in a 2-10 season.

Dexter Lawrence, the New York Giants' star defensive tackle, suffered a dislocated elbow during Thursday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed the injury as 'long-term,' with Lawrence undergoing further evaluations to determine the full extent of the damage.
Lawrence was having a career-best season with nine sacks, 44 tackles, and 16 quarterback hits, ranking among the NFL's top defensive players in 2024.
The Giants, already eliminated from playoff contention, face a seven-game losing streak and significant injuries across their roster, including rookie tight end Theo Johnson's likely season-ending foot injury.
Lawrence, under contract through 2027, will now focus on recovery and preparing to return as a key anchor for the Giants' defense in 2025.
