When he takes the sphere for the Dallas Cowboys in opposition to the Tennessee Titans on Thursday evening, star linebacker/edge rusher Micah Parsons can have a membership solid on his left hand. Parsons was noticed with the wrap on his hand throughout pregame warmups:
According to Yahoo! Sports, Parsons was requested by reporters on Tuesday concerning the hand wrap he wore throughout follow, however declined to elaborate. “You know, soccer,” Parsons stated. “That’s the truth of it. We play a bodily sport. I’m good although.”
Parsons was not listed on the Cowboys’ damage report on Monday, then confirmed up as being restricted on each Tuesday and Wednesday attributable to a hand damage. Parsons is nonetheless lively for the sport in opposition to Tennessee, even supposing the Titans are holding out a number of notable gamers of their very own. Tennessee is taking part in for the AFC South title subsequent week it doesn’t matter what occurs within the recreation in opposition to Dallas.
That the Cowboys have been keen to let Parsons play regardless of being on a brief week and dealing in opposition to a shorthanded opponent would usually lead one to consider that Parsons’ hand damage will not be too severe — particularly contemplating that the staff held operating again Tony Pollard out attributable to a thigh bruise.
But Parsons has additionally been nicked up a number of occasions all through this season, and has seen his effectiveness wane a bit in latest weeks in contrast with earlier within the season. Anything that might gradual him down would clearly make a significant distinction (in a damaging approach) for the Dallas protection, which itself has been way more weak currently that it was early on.
