Cowboys Injury Report: Is Micah Parsons Playing in Week 5 vs. 49ers Amid Foot Problem?

The Dallas Cowboys have arguably the NFL's best defense, and a significant contributor to their success is linebacker Micah Parsons.

Their incredible defense held their last opponent, the New England Patriots, to just three points while they scored 38 of their own during their showdown last Sunday, October 1.

While the Cowboys dominated the game, a tense moment unfolded when Parson exited the field due to an injury in the second quarter.

The 24-year-old appeared to have tweaked his left knee and ankle area but quickly returned to the field three minutes after seeking shelter in the medical tent.

Dallas Cowboys' Micah Parson's injury status

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed the concern level for the 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year's injury.

"I'm not of high concern with it," the 59-year-old said.

After doing evaluations, the two-time First Team All-Pro member is expected to be ready and available for the Cowboys' upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers, scheduled to take place on the road at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, October 8.

Nevertheless, McCarthy mentioned that Parsons might have some limitations during their team practice on Wednesday, October 4.

With the loss of cornerback Trevon Diggs to a season-ending injury, it's understandable that fans may have had a moment of shock and concern when Parsons left the field.

Fortunately for Cowboys fans, the anxious moments were short-lived, as Parsons walked back to the sidelines without a noticeable limp.
