Micah Parsons injury

Following their narrow 20-15 victory against the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys face significant challenges as star defenders Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence are likely to be sidelined for several weeks due to injuries. Parsons has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and is considered week-to-week, while Lawrence is expected to miss multiple weeks with a sprained foot. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that the injuries are worse than anticipated, but both players are seeking second opinions. The team is looking ahead to tough matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions, with concerns about their defensive depth and performance. Despite the win, there is growing anxiety among fans about the team's trajectory this season, especially in light of past defensive struggles and the loss of key players. The Cowboys, now 2-2, hope to navigate these challenges while maintaining their playoff aspirations.
