Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence hasn’t been particularly productive lately because of a back issue, but he won’t even be available Sunday when the Cowboys face the Buccaneers.

Via Todd Archer of ESPN.com, Lawrence has been ruled out this week after missing the entire week of practice.

Lawrence also missed time last week and was questionable for the Giants game. But it has been hard to tell whether he was well or not, as he has just one sack this season.

The Cowboys listed wide receiver Dez Bryant as questionable with a back injury, though he’s expected to play. Defensive tackle Cedric Thornton is also questionable, and hasn’t practiced this week because of an ankle injury.
