Parsons’ Ankle Injury

Micah Parsons, a key figure in the Dallas Cowboys, suffered an ankle injury during the team’s recent 20-15 victory over the New York Giants in East Rutherford, N.J. He was forced to leave the field with just 3:30 left on the clock. Parsons, who was seen icing his left ankle post-match, confirmed that he will have an MRI scan on Friday. Although x-ray results from MetLife Stadium were negative, Parsons is determined to recover as soon as possible for the next games.

Lawrence’s Foot Injury

DeMarcus Lawrence, another crucial player of the Dallas Cowboys, incurred a right foot injury during the third quarter of the same match. Unlike Parsons, Lawrence assured fans post-game that his condition was not serious and unrelated to earlier foot surgeries he had undergone. He will also be having an MRI on Friday.

Impact on the Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys managed to secure their win despite the injuries to their key players. In a post-game interview, the team’s quarterback, Dak Prescott, expressed hope that Parsons’ injury wasn’t severe. The team’s overall mood remained positive, especially after their successive home game losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens where they conceded a total of 464 rushing yards.

Performance Against the Giants

In their recent game against the Giants, they limited their opponents to just 26 yards on 24 carries. However, Giants’ Daniel Jones managed to throw for 281 yards and rookie receiver Malik Nabers achieved 115 yards on 12 catches before exiting due to a concussion. The Cowboys’ success in this match was also attributed to Prescott’s two first-half touchdown passes and Brandon Aubrey’s successful two out of three field goal attempts, including a 60-yarder for the second consecutive game.

Words from Coach Mike McCarthy

Despite the victory, Coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged that the team still has significant work to do. He emphasized the importance of celebrating road wins, especially in division games, but also recognized the continuous effort needed to improve their performance.

Cowboys’ Ten-Day Recess Could Benefit Parsons’ Recovery

The Dallas Cowboys are set to enjoy a 10-day hiatus before their match against the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 6. This could potentially favor Parsons’ rehabilitation, contingent on the medical prognosis.

Prescott’s Remarkable Winning Streak Against the Giants

For the Cowboys’ quarterback, Dak Prescott, this was his 13th consecutive victory against the New York Giants. This ties him for the second longest winning spree by a quarterback against a single adversary.

Prescott on the Importance of Momentum

However, Prescott is well aware that a record of 2-2 differs significantly from a 1-3 record. “It’s immensely important, particularly when juxtaposed with the potential alternative. It was pivotal,” Prescott observed. He elaborated, “This allows us to gather momentum. I’ve been part of various teams where once you hit your stride, you simply catch fire. And that’s our objective. It’s about peaking at the opportune time in this league, and progressing. That’s why I emphasize the process. It’s crucial to have faith in the process, irrespective of the outcome.”
