Dallas Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons, sidelined since Week 4 with a high-ankle sprain, may still be some time from returning, but a recent update from team executive Stephen Jones has given fans a sliver of hope.
Parsons, a key figure in Dallas’s defense, sustained the injury in the team’s Week 4 win over the New York Giants. Despite his rigorous rehab efforts, he has missed the past three games, and signs point to him possibly missing a fourth as the Cowboys prepare to face the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Week 9.
However, in an update that piqued the interest of Cowboys Nation, Cowboys Executive Vice President Stephen Jones commented on Parsons’ situation, providing a glimmer of hope, albeit a cautious one. “There is a chance Parsons could play,” Jones said, “but I’d call it a long shot.”
While the update doesn’t confirm Parsons’ return, it hints at the edge rusher making significant strides in his recovery. Should he return, Parsons would add a much-needed boost to the Cowboys’ defensive front, which has been under pressure in his absence.
The Cowboys face the Falcons on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. Fans eagerly await the final call on Parsons, knowing his presence could greatly impact the defense’s performance as Dallas aims to snap its recent losing streak.
