Micah Parsons Returns Amid Cowboys Injury Woes

The Dallas Cowboys are set to welcome back star edge rusher Micah Parsons for their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, following his four-game absence due to a high ankle sprain. Parsons' return is crucial for the Cowboys, who have struggled defensively, currently ranking 26th in total defense and 31st in points allowed, and are on a three-game losing streak without him. The team will be without starting quarterback Dak Prescott, who is likely out for the season with a hamstring injury requiring surgery, with Cooper Rush stepping in as his replacement. Additionally, the Cowboys face challenges due to injuries to key players like left tackle Tyler Guyton and cornerback DaRon Bland. Meanwhile, the Eagles are relatively healthy and enter the game on a four-game winning streak. Parsons' presence is expected to bolster a Cowboys defense that has been lacking his disruptive playmaking abilities.
