The Dallas Cowboys have been on a rollercoaster ride with their defense in recent weeks, struggling to stop the run in back-to-back home losses against the New Orleans Saints and the Baltimore Ravens. The team’s star edge rusher, Micah Parsons, is now facing his own challenges after suffering a lower left leg injury during the Cowboys’ recent win over the New York Giants.
Parsons had to be carted off the field after diving to break up a pass intended for Giants wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson. Despite initially telling his teammate Dak Prescott that he would be fine, Parsons was seen walking gingerly upon the team’s return to Dallas the following day. An MRI on Friday will provide more information on the severity of his ankle injury, with fears of a high ankle sprain looming.
The incident against the Giants was not the only time Parsons was shaken up during the game. Earlier on, he collided with teammate Eric Kendricks while attempting to make a tackle, leading to a visit to the medical tent for evaluation for a possible concussion. With his status moving forward uncertain, Cowboys fans are anxiously awaiting updates on his condition.
The optimism initially expressed by Parsons after the game has been tempered by the reality of his situation. As he faces the possibility of missing playing time, the Cowboys will have to navigate their defensive challenges without one of their key playmakers. Stay tuned for more updates on Parsons’ injury as the situation develops.
