The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> will return to the practice field on Friday, August 29, to begin preparations for the Week One NFL <\/a>Kickoff Game against the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> on Thursday, September 4. <\/p>\n

Dallas’ big question is whether superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons<\/a> will be on the field with the team when practice begins. <\/p>\n

Parsons has been medically cleared for practice<\/a> after undergoing an MRI on his back, so the ball is in his court for whether he wants to continue his hold-in or suit up with his teammates. Time is running out on a resolution between the two sides, so an important decision needs to be made. <\/p>\n

ESPN’s Dan Graziano made his “Don’t be surprised if…” predictions <\/a>for all 32 teams in the league, and he predicted the Cowboys will call Parsons’ hold-in bluff. <\/p>\n

While the Cowboys and Dak Prescott<\/a> waited until the final moment to strike a deal, the two sides had been talking, and Prescott was practicing. That is a major difference from the Parsons situation, which doesn’t have a direct end in sight. <\/p>\n

“This thing seems a lot more frosty, and Jones appears dug in. Unless Parsons relents and instructs his agent to get a deal done even if it’s on the team’s terms, it’s hard to imagine him getting his extension before the season starts,” Graziano wrote. <\/p>\n

“So then Parsons has a choice to make: play on his current contract or not, with the Cowboys openly holding the threat of a 2026 franchise tag over him.”<\/p>\n

Parsons has remained with the team to avoid piling up fines during training camp, so it would be a complete change in tune if he were willing to lose out on nearly $1.5 million per game <\/a>by sitting out. Teammates and coaches have also said they believe he will be there for Week One<\/a>, so buckle up for an interesting few days. <\/p>\n
