The Dallas Cowboys will be without key defensive players Micah Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence for their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both suffered injuries during their Week 4 victory over the New York Giants, with Lawrence placed on the injured reserve list due to a Lisfranc injury and Parsons dealing with a high ankle sprain.

Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis emphasized the difficulty of replacing such impactful players, while defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa expressed confidence in the rest of the defense to step up in their absence. The Cowboys will rely on other players like Chauncey Golston, Marshawn Kneeland, and KJ Henry to fill the gaps against a challenging Steelers offense.
