FORT WORTH – Dallas Cowboys rookie defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence said Tuesday he feels “awesome.”
The second-round pick said he’ll return to the practice field Wednesday at Valley Ranch. Lawrence didn’t play Thursday at the Chicago Bears because he injured his ribs the week before in a Thanksgiving Day loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Lawrence was among a group of Cowboys players who made their annual holiday hospital visit to Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth.
“I’m looking forward to going back out and playing football [Wednesday], getting back on the field,” Lawrence said. “I’m really looking forward to the Eagles. It’s a big opportunity for us to capitalize on this playoff time. We just have to get back out there and be ready to go.”
Lawrence said he was glad to take some time away from football Tuesday to visit with several children in the hospital.
“It’s just a surreal opportunity to be here,” Lawrence said. “It’s a great opportunity to put perspective on life to let us know how much these kids look up to us.
“Life is so precious to us, coming to see these kids just shows us how we can take life for granted sometimes. Just coming to see these kids makes you see how great life is and any day can be taken from us, so I just want to come out here and give some time to the kids to show them how much I really appreciate them and their support.”
