Cowboys Hope Parsons Isn't 100% for Week 6
4 Jun
Summary
- Micah Parsons is expected to start the season on PUP.
- Parsons' recovery from a torn ACL has a nine-month rule.
- His return might coincide with Week 6 vs. the Cowboys.
Micah Parsons is reportedly set to commence the upcoming season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to his ongoing recovery from a torn ACL. Sources indicate Parsons has approximately four months remaining in his rehabilitation, which, under the team's strict nine-month protocol for extensive ACL injuries, suggests he will miss a minimum of the first four games.
The Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers are scheduled to meet on October 18 in Week 6. This matchup at Lambeau Field could mark Parsons' earliest possible return to the field, especially given the Packers' favorable bye week leading into the game.
This injury timeline could provide a substantial strategic advantage to the Cowboys' offense. The concern for Dallas regarding pass protection at the tackle position is significant. While Parsons did not heavily impact the stat sheet in their last encounter, he demonstrably affected the quarterback's performance. Facing Parsons potentially not at his peak could prove critical in a game with high stakes.
