Injuries Impact Cowboys, Ravens, and Saints

Dallas Cowboys' star defender Micah Parsons remains uncertain for the game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a lingering high ankle sprain sustained on September 26. Despite initial hopes for his return post-bye week, Parsons has not yet passed the 'return to play threshold', as confirmed by head coach Mike McCarthy, extending his absence to a third game. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens face their own injury challenges with key players Marlon Humphrey and Zay Flowers still out of practice ahead of their game against the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens' coach expressed hope for their return, though their status remains doubtful. Similarly, the New Orleans Saints have quarterback Derek Carr and left guard Nick Saldiveri absent from practice, with expectations of their return soon.
