Cowboys’ Micah Parsons suffers apparent leg injury vs. Giants, carted off late in fourth quarter

The Dallas Cowboys defense has gone through a tumultuous last couple weeks, getting gashed on the ground in home losses against the New Orleans Saints (44-19) and the Baltimore Ravens (28-25).

Now, the heartbeat of their defense, three-time All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons, is banged up. He departed the Cowboys’ “Thursday Night Football” matchup at the New York Giants on a cart after suffering an apparent left leg injury while diving to knock away a pass intended for wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson. 

That play wasn’t the first time Parsons suffered an injury on Thursday. He attempted to make a tackle on New York Giants wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson on a 5-yard gain in the first half, and he collided head-on with teammate Eric Kendricks, who made the tackle. The Prime Video broadcast showed Parsons going into the blue medical tent to get evaluated for a concussion. 

Parsons’ status going forward is unclear and will be updated when more details emerge.
