Micah Parsons, one of the NFL’s most dynamic defensive players, recently suffered an injury that has left fans and the Dallas Cowboys eagerly awaiting updates on his condition. The sudden development has raised concerns about his availability for upcoming games.
Here is everything to know about Micah Parsons’ injury and details of when he will get back.
How did Micah Parsons get injured playing football?
Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons faced a tough night after suffering multiple injuries during a recent game. Initially, he was cleared to return after a concussion evaluation in the first half, only to be later sidelined by a neck injury. However, another setback came late in the game with just over three minutes remaining. Parsons was rushing the passer when offensive guard Greg Van Roten accidentally fell on his leg while he was engaged with John Michael Schmitz Jr., the Giants’ center. The impact left Parsons in visible pain.
Trainers quickly attended to him on the field. After an initial evaluation in the medical tent, he was carted off for X-rays, his left foot missing a shoe. Despite earlier returning to the game after an ankle injury, Parsons couldn’t stay on the field, leaving the Cowboys without one of their top defensive stars.
When will Micah Parsons return to play NFL?
There has been no exact timeline about when Micah Parson will return to NFL action after the injury.
Post-game, Parsons was seen limping through the locker room. He admitted that the full extent of his injury was still unknown. The NFL player said, “We won’t know more until tomorrow.” However, he hoped that he could return to play next week. Despite the injury, Parsons remained optimistic about the team’s win. He commented, “I’m glad we’re finally back in the win column, but we still got a lot of work to do.” (via ESPN)
