It remains to be seen whether linebacker Micah Parsons will play.<\/p>\n<p>To have any chance to be ready to go, he needs to start practicing soon. It will be important for the Cowboys to get him ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day as soon as he can get out there, that\u2019s great, but again <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/46082633\/schottenheimer-says-parsons-need-ramp-return\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">there will be a ramp-up plan for him<\/a>,\u201d coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday, via Todd Archer of ESPN.com. \u201cAnd when he lines up out there to play, do I think he would play 75 plays and every play? Probably not. I don\u2019t think that that\u2019s real. But I do think that he can be very disruptive like we all know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First, they have to get him to practice. The Cowboys could inform Parsons that they believe he\u2019s healthy, and that he faces discipline for <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/cowboys-micah-parsons-situation-could-soon-get-even-uglier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">conduct detrimental to the team<\/a> if he continues to fail to practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day that he can get out there and get reps would be great,\u201d Schottenheimer added. \u201cBut I do think very strongly that him being around has helped him. Doing some of the walk-throughs and things like that, it does help. There\u2019s communication, there\u2019s signals that come from the sideline, there\u2019s communication from player to player that he\u2019s getting all those things. . . . But the best way to get better at football is to play football, so I would say as soon as possible would be the desired effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parsons has shown no inclination to relent in his position that he wants to be traded. The Cowboys have shown no inclination to abandon the position that he agreed to a deal in March, without the involvement of his agent.<\/p>\n<p>It has been ugly at times. It\u2019s going to reach critical mass soon, because Parsons can\u2019t simply show up and play on September 4 without any preparation to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In nine days, the Cowboys face the Eagles in the first game of the 2025 regular season.
