The Dallas Cowboys defense has faced significant challenges recently, suffering losses against the New Orleans Saints and the Baltimore Ravens. Star edge rusher Micah Parsons, a three-time All-Pro, is now dealing with a high-ankle sprain after being carted off during a game against the New York Giants.

Despite Parsons' optimistic comments post-game, he was seen walking gingerly upon returning to Dallas. His injury raises concerns about his availability for upcoming games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions, especially with a bye week approaching.
