FRISCO, Texas – Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer will not enter details after his meeting with Micah Parsons on Tuesday as the Pro Bowl Edge Sprinters were not wearing jerseys and lay on the medical table in Friday's pre-season game, but he still sticks, and Parsons will oppose Parsons on September 4 at Philadelphia Eagles.4.
However, Schottenheimer admitted for the first time that Parsons could be restricted in his game against the defending Super Bowl champion if he played.
“At the end of the day, he was able to get there, which was great, but again there was a plan to strengthen it,” Schottenheimer said. “When he was lined up to play, did he think he would play 75 games and every game? Probably not. I don't think that was real. But I do think he could be as devastating as we all know.”

Parsons hasn't practiced throughout the summer because he held a contract extension that has not yet appeared. Even though Terry McLaurin and Trey Hendrickson ended their insistence with the Washington Commander and the Cincinnati Bengals, respectively, Parsons’ speech did not change.
The Cowboys seem to have Parsons compete in the season with a $21.324 billion fifth-grade selection effect on his rookie contract. Parsons had an MRI on his back last Friday, recovering clean, and Schottenheimer said “At this point, Parsons were medically cleared for practice. After asking for a three-day break, the Cowboys returned to practice on Friday. They will do three practices on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday before flying to Philadelphia.
“It's great to get there every day and get reps, but I do think it's helpful for him to be with him. Doing some drills and things like that, it does help. There's communication, there's signals coming from the sidelines, from players to players to players to all of these things get all of that stuff.”
“But the better way to play football in a football game is to play football, so I want to be the ideal result as soon as possible.”
