Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer plans to meet with linebacker Micah Parsons to address his conduct during a recent preseason game, where Parsons was notably lying on a medical table behind the bench and was the only player not wearing a jersey. Despite this, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott expressed confidence that Parsons will participate in the team's September 4 season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. The ongoing contract negotiations between Parsons and the Cowboys have attracted trade interest from other teams, although the Cowboys appear unwilling to entertain offers. This standoff has drawn criticism, including from former NFL player Darrelle Revis, who reproached Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the NFL Players Association for their handling of the situation. Meanwhile, Prescott remains optimistic about the Cowboys' offensive prospects for the 2025 season.
