Cowboys vs. Steelers: Parsons and Key Players Out

Micah Parsons, the Dallas Cowboys' standout linebacker, missed his first NFL game due to a high ankle sprain sustained in a prior game against the New York Giants. This absence breaks his streak of consecutive appearances, marking the first injury-related game Parsons has missed since his professional debut. The Cowboys also faced the Pittsburgh Steelers without star players DeMarcus Lawrence and Brandin Cooks, who are on injured reserve, while the Steelers themselves dealt with depth issues as key players Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson were inactive. Parsons' durability has been a hallmark of his career, underscoring the significance of this injury. Despite these challenges, the Cowboys are hopeful about Trevon Diggs' availability, while other players like Caelen Carson remain questionable. The match-up against the Steelers will test the Cowboys’ resilience as they face a strong opponent without some of their key players.
