Dallas Cowboys' Micah Parsons uncertain for upcoming game due to ankle sprain
Why it matters: The availability of star pass rusher Micah Parsons for the next game against the San Francisco 49ers is in question, as he continues to recover from a high left ankle sprain.
The injury occurred during the Cowboys' victory over the New York Giants on September 26.
What's new: Parsons has missed the past two games due to the ankle sprain, resulting in mixed outcomes for the team, with a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers but a loss to the Detroit Lions.
Yes, but: While Parsons expressed his desire to be on the field with his teammates, the decision regarding his availability will be made collectively by himself, the medical staff, and coaches.
- Parsons stated that he doesn't believe there are any physical limitations for him, but the situation is being monitored by the team.
- He emphasized his use of this time to reflect on self-improvement and helping the team.
What to watch: The progress of Parsons' recovery and whether he will be able to participate in practice on Wednesday remain uncertain.
- Coach Mike McCarthy mentioned that Parsons has been making progress, but the extent of his involvement in practice is unclear.
What's next: As the game approaches, the Cowboys will continue to assess Parsons' condition and make a determination regarding his participation.
- Parsons previously missed one game in 2021 due to COVID-19.
The bottom line: The absence of Micah Parsons, a key defensive playmaker, could impact the Cowboys' overall performance in their upcoming matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The team and fans eagerly await updates on his recovery and potential return to the field.
