Dallas is coming off a much-needed bye after being embarrassed at home in Week 7 by Detroit, 47-9. The Cowboys are banged up needing a win to stay above .500 and could be getting one of their best players back on the field just in time. Despite that, Dallas still needs help along the defensive line and in the offensive backfield. With the trade deadline looming there are rumors floating around about what they could do but at this point, they need all the help they can get.
Micah Parsons close to returning
Micah Parsons sprained his ankle in Dallas’ Week 4 win over the New York Giants. Each week he’s been up in the air on whether he’d play but now it finally looks like we’re getting close to seeing Parsons on the field again. The Cowboys play San Francisco this week and Parson suiting up isn’t out of the question.
If not this week, then Week 9 in Atlanta could be the game, we see Parsons back on the field getting after Kirk Cousins. This Cowboys defense has not been great this season although they were playing better leading up to that thrashing, they took against the Detroit Lions.
Things won’t get much easier this week against the Niners but having Parsons back potentially could cause a boost in team morale. Plus, the 49ers are struggling at 3-4 with most of Brock Purdy’s weapons out of the lineup. The 49ers have owned the Cowboys for the past few years no matter where they’ve played so now would be the time to take advantage of a wounded Niners squad.
Chase Young in Big D?
The Bottom line is the Cowboys need help getting after the quarterback and they need it fast. Micah Parsons has been out with an ankle injury for a few weeks but should be back on the field soon. His status for Sunday’s game against the 49ers is still up in the air but there is optimism among the team. Demarcus Lawrence is still on injured reserve with a foot injury so Dallas is quite thin rushing the passer…
