Micah Parsons still is not practicing Wednesday, the second consecutive day he is not participating with the Cowboys in Oxnard, California.<\/p>\n

The star edge rusher said Tuesday he would not characterize it as a \u201chold-in,\u201d citing back tightness<\/a>. But he and Trevon Diggs, who was standing next to Parsons, joked about \u201cheavy squats\u201d being the cause.<\/p>\n

Parsons also is not working with the rehab group, instead standing with the defensive linemen with his helmet in hand<\/a>, via Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News.<\/p>\n

Parsons is unlikely to participate fully in practice until he has a contract extension.<\/p>\n

He said the Cowboys have not returned a phone call<\/a> from his agent, as negotiations have not progressed. <\/p>\n

Parsons became eligible for a contract extension after the 2023 season. He is headed into the final year of his rookie deal scheduled to make $24 million on the fifth-year option. <\/p>\n

He expressed discouragement that edge rushers T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby received contract extensions this offseason while the Cowboys are making Parsons wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m the best at what I do,\u201d Parsons said Tuesday. \u201cYou can argue whoever, but stats, numbers don\u2019t lie. The consistency is there, and the availability is there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parsons, 26, has 52.5 sacks in his career, earning All-Pro twice and making the Pro Bowl all four seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Micah Parsons still is not practicing Wednesday, the second consecutive day he is not participating with the Cowboys…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18904,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-18903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
