The Dallas Cowboys have suffered a major setback after receiving bad news about their defensive star, Micah Parsons, following their Week 4 victory over the New York Giants. Parsons, the All-Pro linebacker and edge rusher, was carted off the field late in the game due to a leg injury. Early reports indicate that Parsons sustained a high ankle sprain, which typically takes four to six weeks to recover. An MRI is expected to confirm the severity, but with the Cowboys’ upcoming schedule, the team might give him time to rest and heal.
Parsons’ injury is a blow to a Cowboys team that relies heavily on his defensive prowess. Despite being one of the most explosive defensive players in the NFL, Parsons has faced several injuries this season, including a neck injury earlier in the same game against the Giants. The team, currently at 2-2, now faces a critical decision about whether to play Parsons in the next few weeks or allow him to recover fully, especially with a bye week looming in Week 7.
Dallas is expected to closely monitor his condition as they prepare for upcoming matchups against the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers. Given the importance of Parsons to their defense, any extended absence could significantly affect their playoff aspirations this season. However, the team is hopeful that the extra days off before their next game will aid his recovery and avoid a long-term absence.
