ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler posted an update on X, that Parsons spent some time icing the sore leg. Once he felt a little better, he started to walk around the locker room before going for an X-ray. The all-pro linebacker told his Cowboys teammates,“Yeah, I will be good.”

The news was also confirmed by the Athletic’s Jon Machota. Machota later posted that Parsons’ x-rays were negative and he will have an MRI on Saturday in Dallas.

Parsons recorded 2 tackles in the game before his injury. The Cowboys coaches allowed the media to speak with him in the locker room, where he spoke freely about the win.

As you know, 20-15 win, but it wasn’t perfect, you know what I am saying? I am done scraping by. I don’t wanna scrape by [anymore], I want legit wins and to win consistently. We got a tough matchup next week, and I wish I will be back for it.

Micah Parsons said (H/T: ESPN)

The reporters further asked Parsons about his injury.

Right now I iced it. I know very little. I got an MRI tomorrow, and I try to get back next week.
