9 sourcesUpdated Nov 7, 20261 min read
The Dallas Cowboys placed rookie outside linebacker Malachi Lawrence on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain, sidelining him for at least four games after he was hurt against Arizona. Dallas activated Marist Liufau, who had been recovering from a preseason forearm fracture, to fill the roster spot as he returns to the linebacker rotation. The Cowboys also elevated receiver Jordan Hudson and tight end James Mitchell from the practice squad for their Week 9 game against Indianapolis. Defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard will remain on injured reserve for at least another week.

Elevating both Hudson and Mitchell shows they want extra options for the Colts game.
Liufau back from IR should add some needed stability to the linebacker spot right away.
Losing Lawrence for four games is rough on the edge rush, especially this early in his career.
