In an intense game on Thursday night that saw the Dallas Cowboys edge out a victory against the New York Giants 20-15, defensive end Micah Parsons suffered a concerning left ankle injury with just 3:30 left on the clock. This moment sent a wave of panic through Cowboys Nation as he was carted off to the X-ray room.

Fortunately for fans and the team, Parsons later reported that the initial X-rays came back negative. However, to ensure there are no further complications, he will undergo an MRI on Friday. This development raises hopes that he may not miss any critical game time.

With a decent time frame ahead, as the Cowboys have 10 days until their next match against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football, Parsons expressed confidence in his recovery. "Yeah, I’ll be good," he reassured teammate Dak Prescott in the locker room, as reported by Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com.

The injury occurred during a play where Parsons was fiercely rushing quarterback center John Michael Schmitz Jr. when he was unexpectedly rolled from behind by offensive guard Greg Van Roten. This unfortunate incident underscores the physical nature of the game and its inherent risks.

Adding to the Cowboys' worry, DeMarcus Lawrence, the other starting defensive end, also left the game due to a foot injury and was unable to return. After the matchup, he acknowledged that he's in pain but remains optimistic that he’ll be able to recover in time.

As the Cowboys prepare for their next showdown, all eyes will be on the results of Parsons' MRI, which will be crucial in determining the defensive strategy moving forward. Stay tuned for updates as Dallas hopes for a speedy recovery for these key players!
