Dallas placed rookie outside linebacker Malachi Lawrence on injured reserve and activated outside linebacker Marist Liufau, who fractured his forearm in the preseason finale. Newsday reports Lawrence has a high ankle sprain. After his first practice back, Liufau said, “I’ll be ready to punch some stuff out.”

Dallas (3-5) also elevated receiver Jordan Hudson and tight end James Mitchell from the practice squad. Kickoff against the Colts (2-6) is at noon CT at Lucas Oil Stadium, with FOX carrying the game.

  • Questionable: George Pickens, Joey Porter Jr., Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker
  • Out: KaVontae Turpin (rib), Jonathan Bullard (calf)
  • Lawrence's season: 13 tackles, 1 sack, 3 quarterback hits

Dallas made four roster moves before the Colts game
