Steelers Next Opponent Suffers Major Blow in TNF Win
The Dallas Cowboys, the next opponent of the Pittsburgh Steelers, suffered a major blow in their TNF win, an injury to star LB Micah Parsons.
The Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football, but the Week 5 opponents of the Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a major injury in the process, as star Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons suffered an apparently serious injury in the game.
Parsons was rushing Giants quarterback Daniel Jones during a play late in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’20-15 win over the Giants. Parsons was engaged with one Giants offensive lineman when another New York player fell on the back of his left leg, pinning his lower leg, ankle and foot underneath as Parsons fell to the turf at MetLife Stadium.

Parsons got to his feet and limped off the field to the blue medical tent on the Dallas sideline. He was later taken off the field on a cart and did not return. Head coach Mike McCarthy did not give an update on Parsons’ status after the game. He was reportedly icing his ankle in the locker room after the game. Parsons said he’s having an MRI on his ankle, but will try to play against the Steelers next week.

Parsons had two tackles, with one for a loss, before leaving the game due to injury. In four games this season, he has 10 tackles, one TFL, one sack and 17 quarterback hits.
Last season, Parsons finished with 14 sacks, 18 tackles for loss and 64 tackles. He was third in NFL Defensive Player of the Year voting and earned his third Pro Bowl nod and third All-Pro selection. A Harrisburg, Pa. native, Parsons spent three seasons at Penn State before the Cowboys selected him at No. 12 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.
