Micah Parsons

Cowboys beat writer Clarence Hill Jr. said Micah Parsons (ankle) was “in a boot and on a scooter” at the team facilities on Monday.

Parsons suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Cowboys’ Week 4 win over the Giants but hasn’t been ruled out for Week 5’s tilt with the Steelers. The star pass-rusher has played through injuries in the past and has never missed a regular season game due to injury. It seems like a stretch that he would play in the team’s upcoming game, but with fellow pass-rusher DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) already ruled out for the foreseeable future, the need to have Parsons on the field becomes more amplified. We may not know about Parson’s availability until Friday or closer to game time.
