Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) is set to make his return to the field ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Parsons will take the field for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in Week 4. His return to the field is a welcomed sight for this defensive unit. Parsons was able to get in three limited practice sessions this week. That being said, Parsons is expected to be on a snap count for his first game back, which will make him more of a risk in starting lineups in IDP fantasy leagues. The Cowboys don't want to push Parsons too hard, considering he has missed quite a bit of time.
Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) is practicing on Wednesday, but he is expected to be limited for the first session of the week. This is a promising development, as he did not practice at all last week due to his ankle injury suffered in Week 4. The 2021 first-round pick and three-time All-Pro has registered 41.5 sacks in 54 career games and could provide the Dallas defense a much-needed boost as the organization falls out of the playoff picture. There is optimism he will suit up against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, though his practicing participation throughout the rest of the week should provide some clarity on his situation.
Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) is expected to be back on the field for the Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Parsons has been sidelined for the last four games while recovering from a high-ankle sprain. This return is a welcoming sight for this Cowboys defensive unit. Parsons has 14 tackles and one sack through the four games that he's played in this season. The Cowboys offense took a huge hit with Dak Prescott (hamstring) going down for multiple weeks. However, Parsons should be able to give them a lift on the defensive side of the ball.
Dallas Cowboys edge-rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) and defensive back DaRon Bland (foot) have both been ruled out for the team's Week 9 road tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. It's no surprise, as both athletes logged three DNPs ahead of Sunday's outing. Parsons hasn't appeared in a game since sustaining an ankle injury ahead of the team's Week 5 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Bland hasn't appeared in any action all season. Dallas did move the cornerback to their 53-man roster this past Wednesday, so it would seem they intend to activate him soon. However, they'll go at least one more week down two key defensive contributors.
Dallas Cowboys linebacker/edge rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) is once again not practicing on Thursday ahead of the Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons. The three-time All-Pro in as many seasons suffered an ankle injury in the Week 4 win over the New York Giants and has not played since. His absence in the Dallas lineup is highly significant, especially since the Cowboys' defense is allowing the seventh-most yards per game (372.6) this season. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Parsons is "not quite there yet," so it's fair to assume he is trending toward missing his fourth consecutive game.
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Parsons has now been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain in their Week 4 victory over the New York Giants. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues should expect DeMarvion Overshown and Damone Clark to see the majority of snaps at the linebacker position. Linebacker Erik Kendricks (shoulder) listed as questionable and could also be in danger of missing Sunday's game. Without Parsons, the San Francisco offense should have a much easier time moving downfield. Running back Jordan Mason is poised for a great showing on Sunday evening as the Cowboys have already allowed the 31st-most PPR points to opposing RBs.
Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland Don't Practice Wednesday
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) and cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) were both absent from practice on Wednesday. As prep for Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers begins, the Cowboys find themselves short two key defensive playmakers. Parsons has been sidelined since Week 4 against the Giants and now appears to be at risk of missing his third consecutive game. He registered 14 tackles, one sack, and zero turnovers through the four games for which he was healthy. Meanwhile, Bland, who was an interception machine last year, is still waiting to make his first appearance of the 2024 season. He's been on injured reserve all year, and while the Cowboys did open his 21-day practice window earlier this month, he has not yet seen the field. Dallas' deadline to activate Bland is Oct. 30; if they don't move him to the 53-man roster by then, he'll be forced to miss the entire season.
Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland To Be Game-Time Decisions In Week 8
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday that defensive end Micah Parsons (ankle) and cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) will be game-time decisions on Sunday night in Week 8 for a showdown against the San Francisco 49ers. Parsons has missed the last two games with a high-ankle sprain, while Bland has not yet played in 2024 due to his foot ailment. Bland has been practicing with the team since being designated to return from Injured Reserve a couple weeks ago. Coming off their bye after being blown out by the Detroit Lions in Week 6, the Cowboys defense would be much more appealing as a fantasy unit if both Parsons and Bland are available against a 49ers offense that continues to be decimated by injuries to their key playmakers. While both Parsons and Bland appear to be making progress, there's no guarantee they'll actually play in Week 8.
Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) may not be ready to return to action in Week 8 following their Week 7 bye, according to Garrett Podell of CBS Sports. Podell further reported that head coach Mike McCarthy expressed that "the bye week will be a big one for Parsons." Fantasy managers in IDP leagues should continue to closely monitor Parsons' status over the next two weeks, as he could be in danger of missing his third straight game. The Cowboys defense has taken a significant step back this season after being one of the best units in 2023. They have allowed at least 28 points in three games this season and have just 14 total team sacks, which is only the 16th-highest mark in football. The Dallas defense would be hard to trust without Parsons in Week 8 when they travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers and should be kept out of starting lineups in all standard formats.
Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) will not suit up this weekend when the Cowboys face the Detroit Lions. Parsons suffered a high-ankle sprain in their Week 4 victory over the New York Giants and will now miss his second consecutive game. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues should continue to monitor his status as the star edge rusher could be eligible to return in Week 8 as the Cowboys are off on a bye in Week 7. This weekend, DeMarvion Overshown and Erik Kendricks should see most of the linebacker snaps while Chauncey Golston and Tyrus Wheat will be deployed on the line. With both DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) and Parsons not playing, the Detroit offense should have much easier time moving down the field.
