Giants' Dexter Lawrence says he dislocated left elbow at Cowboys - ESPN

ARLINGTON, Texas — As if things weren't bad enough for the New York Giants as they dropped their seventh straight game, now they have to deal with an injury to Dexter Lawrence, their most dominant defensive player. The star lineman said he dislocated his left elbow in Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

Lawrence left in the third quarter and did not return. He knew immediately it wasn't good.

«I think I just dislocated my elbow!» he told linebacker Bobby Okereke after the play.

Lawrence, who leads the Giants with nine sacks, went to the sideline and had the elbow popped back in. He then walked to the locker room with a trainer.

The All-Pro will undergo an MRI in the next few days to determine the extent of the injury. He had the elbow heavily wrapped and in a sling after the game. Lawrence said the medical staff did not provide a timetable for the injury.

The Giants (2-10) have 10 days until they play the New Orleans Saints, so their injured players have some time to heal.

Among them is quarterback Tommy DeVito. He missed the Thanksgiving game because of a forearm injury. Coach Brian Daboll confirmed there was no structural damage shown in an MRI from Wednesday. DeVito told reporters he expected to be back soon. He said the short week for the Thanksgiving game was the biggest obstacle.

«Structurally, everything was good,» DeVito said. «Just could not be ready for Thursday. I feel pretty good — better than I did [Wednesday]. If it was a Sunday, I think I would've been able to play.»

DeVito was the third-string, emergency quarterback against the Cowboys. But he did not throw at all before the game.

Daboll said DeVito «probably» could be ready for the Saints.
