Cowboys have not ruled out Micah Parsons for Week 5 vs. Steelers

The Cowboys lost both defensive ends in the win over the Giants on Thursday night.

Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence will get second opinions on their injuries, coach Mike McCarthy said Friday. The Cowboys have not ruled out Parsons for the Week 5 game against the Steelers as he will have 10 days between games.

Executive vice president Stephen Jones called Parsons “week-to-week” during his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan.

‘We’ll just do it see how it goes” said Jones.

Parsons rushed center John Michael Schmitz Jr. in the fourth quarter. when he was rolled from behind by offensive guard Greg Van Roten. He was wheeled from the sidelines to the X-ray room.

McCarthy said Lawrence did not break his foot, but Lawrence is expected to miss more time than Parsons with a foot sprain.

Both injuries are worse than the team initially expected after X-rays came back negative.

Lawrence was injured on the first drive of the second half and did not return.

Jones said cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) isn’t ready to return yet, but he’s “getting closer” and the Cowboys could open his 21-day window next week.
