Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons reportedly suffered a high-ankle sprain on Thursday night.
Near the end of Thursday night’s win on the road against the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys were surely wondering if the victory as coming at a price.
On the penultimate possession of the game for the Giants, star pass rusher Micah Parsons went down with what appeared to be a lower-leg injury. Breaths were held as he was helped off of the field and have been to varying degrees in the aftermath of the victory as everyone has been wondering the exact severity of what he could be dealing with.
That is now known. According to NFL Network, Micah suffered a high-ankle sprain.

It goes without saying that high-ankle sprains are tricky things in the NFL and that no two instances of them are alike. Conventional assumption would be that Micah would miss at least some time and given that Dallas has a bye after their next two games (at Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Lions) then it stands to reason that this could be one line of thinking.
DeMarcus Lawrence was also banged up in the win at MetLife and the full details of that have yet to be reported at the time of this writing. Clearly the Cowboys have some work to do in general, but if they are going to be playing games without Micah Parsons that became all the more difficult.
All the best to Micah. Hope to see him back as soon as possible.
