Despite 11 penalties and a 10-minute difference in time of possession, the Dallas Cowboys escaped the New York Giants with a 20-15 win on “Thursday Night Football.”
The victory improved Dallas’ record to an even 2-2 on the young season and dropped the Giants to last place in the NFC East at 1-3.
With less than four minutes to play in regulation, Cowboys star defender Micah Parsons went down in pain before exiting the field with an ankle injury. He spent a few moments in the blue medical tent on the sideline before departing to the locker room on a cart .
According to The Athletic’s Jon Machota after the game, Parsons was “limping around the locker room, definitely in pain.”
The Cowboys reporter also revealed three words the All-Pro linebacker shared with quarterback Dak Prescott about his injury status: “I’ll be good.”
NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo added on X that, “Parsons spent some time icing his ankle on the #Cowboys’ training table. Limping a bit but no indications here in the locker room he suffered a significant injury.”
