The Dallas Cowboys collectively held their breath when Micah Parsons suffered an ankle injury against the Giants.
The Dallas Cowboys defense has had a tumultuous couple of weeks. They have been getting gashed on the ground in home losses against the New Orleans Saints and the Baltimore Ravens.
Although they won a game against the Giants, three-time All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons had to be carted from the sidelines after suffering an apparent lower left leg injury while diving to knock away a pass intended for wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson.
The Cowboys star defender underwent an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of his ankle injury, and NFL Media later reported that he sustained a high-ankle sprain.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Parsons will be sidelined for at least 7 to 10 days before he is re-evaluated to set a timeline for his return.
That means he is unlikely to be available for their next game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The team is also having a rough next stretch as they will then face the Detroit Lions, the San Francisco 49ers, the Atlanta Falcons, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Houston Texans.

Mike McCarthy, Cowboys Preparing For Life Without Micah Parsons
The Cowboys’ win over the New York Giants falls into a bad win since they lost so much.
Dallas got the win, and it desperately needed to return to .500, but pass rusher Micah Parsons suffered a high ankle sprain.
Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is also dealing with a mid-foot sprain.
Head coach Mike McCarthy did say he thinks both Parsons and Lawrence and “definitely” be back at some point in the 2024 season.
