After the Dallas Cowboys decisively defeated the Giants in New York, bad news returned for the team.
Star defender Micah Parsons suffered an injury, along with DeMarcus Ware, and both could potentially miss several games. In light of this situation, Dallas’ number 11 spoke to the media about his condition.
Of course, the exact recovery time for Micah will be determined in the coming days or longer. Parsons is already facing the possibility of missing the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“It’s really frustrating,” Parsons said. “You put so much energy into preparing and being there for the team, so being out hurts because I feel like I’m letting people down. I’m just letting people down. For a while, I thought I was invincible.”
“It’s humbling. It’s part of the test I’ve been talking about. It’s about having faith. I have to come back stronger.”
Parsons in Constant Communication with His Coach
“Everything will come down to how I handle this and communicate with Coach Jim Maurer, staying ahead of it so I can come back as quickly as possible,” Parsons continued.
“I’m just trying to get back on the field as soon as I can, but I don’t want this to drag out.”
A bye week is approaching for Parsons and the Cowboys, which should help inform their decision about when to put him back on the field.
However, that’s still two games away, as the Detroit Lions are set to visit AT&T Stadium on October 13. The Cowboys will be looking to avoid a four-game losing streak at home, a skid that dates back to their playoff loss in January.
This would be the first time Parsons misses games due to injury. He missed one game in 2021, during his rookie season, due to COVID protocols, but nothing else.
“Never,” said the three-time Pro Bowler. “Never in my life. I’ve never missed a game. I’ve played through injuries and pain, so playing hurt isn’t really the problem for me.”
