Dallas Cowboys' star defender Micah Parsons sustained a high-ankle sprain during the team's 20-15 victory over the New York Giants. Parsons, who was carted off the field, later confirmed that X-rays were negative but will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury. Despite expressing optimism about his recovery, Parsons was seen walking gingerly, raising concerns about his availability for upcoming games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions. The Cowboys' defense, which has struggled in recent weeks, will miss Parsons' impact if he is sidelined. Both Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, who also suffered an injury, are hoping to benefit from the extended break before their next game. The Cowboys' ability to turn their season around heavily depends on the health and performance of their defensive stars.
