Cowboys Gear Up for Pittsburgh Showdown Facing Defensive Line Injuries: Micah Parsons Aims to Return Despite Ankle Sprain

Monday, September 30th, 2024

Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys might miss his first career game due to a significant left ankle sprain.

Coach Mike McCarthy is getting the team ready for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers without Parsons.

Parsons expressed frustration, feeling he is disappointing others.

However, Parsons believes that rookie defensive linemen Marshawn Kneeland, Chauncey Golston, and Carl Lawson can step up in his absence.

DeMarcus Lawrence is also out as he deals with a Lisfranc injury in his right foot.

Cornerback Jourdan Lewis highlights the irreplaceable impact of both Parsons and Lawrence on the team.

Parsons has encouraged the defensive linemen to show resilience and embrace the next-man-up mentality.

While the team has managed challenging situations before, such as Dak Prescott's five-game absence in 2022, Lewis points out the unique difficulty of playing without both Parsons and Lawrence.
