But at long last, there may be reason for optimism. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, head coach Brian Schottenheimer insisted that he is confident that Parsons will be involved when the Cowboys kick off against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 4. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI think at the end of the day, <b>we feel like Micah\u2019s going to be out there when we line up against Philadelphia<\/b> here in 15 days or whatever it is,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/46033996\/schottenheimer-confident-cowboys-parsons-opener\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/46033996\/schottenheimer-confident-cowboys-parsons-opener\">Schottenheimer said<\/a> before practice on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He was then asked whether that is likely to be with an extended contract, or without one. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Schottenheimer replied: \u201cI feel good that Micah\u2019s going to be out there against the Philadelphia Eagles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">There was a certain vagueness to Schottenheimer\u2019s response, but he certainly seems convinced that Parsons will be staying with the team to begin 2025. Parsons still has one year remaining on his five-year contract in Dallas and he is set to earn <a href=\"https:\/\/en.as.com\/nfl\/cowboys-jerry-jones-has-offered-another-update-on-micah-parsons-situation-this-is-what-he-said-n\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/en.as.com\/nfl\/cowboys-jerry-jones-has-offered-another-update-on-micah-parsons-situation-this-is-what-he-said-n\/\">$24 million this season<\/a>.

Micah knows his body as well as anybody. The best thing of him being here is that he has been able to do some of the walk-throughs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He continued: \u201cHe has been able to be in the meetings. <b>He understands some of the calls and the different packages and stuff that we\u2019re going to use<\/b>.
