The Cowboys will work out several pass rushers, highlighted by Carl Lawson on Thursday, a person with knowledge of the process told The Dallas Morning News.
Lawson, a 2017 fourth-round pick of the Bengals, spent the last three seasons with the New York Jets. After signing a three-year deal with the Jets in 2021, he suffered a torn Achilles but returned the next season and started in 17 games. But he was unhappy with his role last season and participated in just six games.

The Cowboys are seeking more help on the defense with Sam Williams out for the season with a torn ACL and MCL. In 74 career games (31 starts), Lawson has 119 tackles (28 for loss) and 27 sacks. Lawson also has experience with members of the Cowboys’ coaching staff, previously playing for defensive run game coordinator Paul Guenther in Cincinnati.
According to Nick Eatman of dallascowboys.com, the team is also hosting Shaka Toney, Al-Quadin Muhammad and Justin Hollins for workouts.
