DeMarcus Lawrence inactive tonight

CHICAGO – Despite what looked like a productive pregame workout, Dallas Cowboys rookie defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears.
Lawrence had been questionable with a rib injury he suffered against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving and tweaked in practice on Monday. He was limited in practice on Monday and Tuesday.
With Lawrence out and George Selvie bothered by a thumb injury, look for Henry Melton to take some snaps at defensive end.
Lawrence missed the first eight games of the season with a broken foot. In four games, the Cowboys coaches have credited him with six tackles, one tackle for loss and two quarterback pressures. He is still looking for his first sack.
Also inactive for the Cowboys are quarterback Dustin Vaughan, tackle Tony Hills, tackle Donald Hawkins, safety Jeff Heath, cornerback Tyler Patmon and linebacker Dekoda Watson. Heath, Patmon and Watson were ruled out on Wednesday. Heath and Patmonm could return Dec. 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
