Dallas Cowboys fans are going nuts about the team actually being good again, and the great news keeps on rolling in as rookie defensive end Demarcus Lawrence is returning to practice and may play soon.

Demarcus Lawrence came into the NFL as a highly touted defensive threat, but the hype about how good he could be in his rookie season was changed when he got injured in training camp. Lawrence’s offseason injury forced him to go on IR but he was designated for return and will be coming back next month.

According to Todd Archer from ESPN.com, the Cowboys are expecting to get Lawrence back on November 2nd against the Arizona Cardinals, and his impact from there will depend on how he is used by the Cowboys.

"We’ll see how this goes when he gets back Nov. 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cowboys believe he will have an impact, almost like trading for a player. He will have fresh legs. He showed a knack for getting to the quarterback over the summer. He is more of a power player than a speed player, but having a shortened role as a designated pass rusher might help him just focus on getting to the quarterback."

Getting Lawrence back is now more of a luxury than it is a necessity. In the offseason, it was looking like the Cowboys defense was going to be in shambles again this year with the loss of Lawrence as well as well as linebacker Sean Lee. But the Cowboys have bounced back in a big way and now are getting a prized young prospect back at a time when the team is soaring.
