ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter<\/strong> said it\u2019s fair to question if Micah Parsons<\/a><\/strong> will actually suit up for the Dallas Cowboys<\/strong> in Week 1. They take on their arch rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, on the road next Thursday.<\/p>\n

Parsons hasn\u2019t practiced in training camp and also cited back tightness. While there seems to be some reported debate about that, Parsons not practicing throws a wrench into the plans the Cowboys have for their star pass rusher.<\/p>\n

Amid a standoff in contract negotiations, Parsons, nor the Cowboys for that matter, have not budged. A trade doesn\u2019t seem to be on the horizon<\/a>, so now it\u2019s a matter of watching Parsons on the field or the sideline to kickoff the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are getting close to the start of the regular season opener. He has not practiced this summer due to a back injury, back tightness,\u201d Schefter said on Get Up. \u201cNow, the Cowboys took an MRI on it, said it came back clean. I think Micah Parsons would tell you that his back is tight. Doesn\u2019t feel right, so he does not practice \u2026 He\u2019s got a tight back. The Cowboys regular season opener is a week from Thursday night in Philadelphia, and the fact of the matter is, if he\u2019s out there at all, he\u2019ll be limited because he hasn\u2019t gone through practice at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the short term picture. There\u2019s obviously a lot to this. We\u2019ll get to all of it, but we\u2019re talking about the game, Thursday night, practice, no practice. So we\u2019ll see if you can make it out there next week. And I would say right now, that is very much in question.\u201d<\/p>\n

Logically, Parsons would give Dallas a better shot to beat the defending Super Bowl champions next week. Without him, it\u2019s one less superstar the Eagles have to worry about.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Aug. 1, Parsons publicly announced he\u2019d formally requested a trade from the Cowboys after the organization failed to agree to on a new contract with him. Parsons has been attending the Cowboys\u2019 training camp and preseason games since then to avoid NFL<\/a> fines, but not participating.<\/p>\n

While Parsons may be willing to talk with other teams, the Cowboys don\u2019t seem interested in trading the four-time Pro Bowler. And in many ways, Parsons\u2019 future is ultimately out of his hands.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys exercised the fifth-year option on Parsons\u2019 rookie contract this year and could keep him under contract until 2028 by using their franchise tag on him. If Parsons opts not to play once the regular season begins, he could be losing $1.25 million each week.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter said it\u2019s fair to question if Micah Parsons will actually suit up for the Dallas…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":174329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,71618,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-174328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-micah-parsons-18-harrisburg","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115089459366704471","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
