Cowboys Defensive Stud Listed As Questionable For Monday Night Football

The Dallas Cowboys won their first game in 2022 a week ago under Cooper Rush, but with a huge divisional matchup against the 2-0 Giants looming on Monday Night Football, they may unfortunately be without one of their biggest stars. Micah Parsons today was listed as questionable for the game, due to an illness that limited him during Saturday's practice, but in order to stop Saquon Barkley and the Giants offence, they'll desperately need him available.

Parsons was drafted in 2021, and immediately took the NFL by storm, winning Defensive Rookie of the Year, along with being named a Pro Bowler and an All-Pro, and at this point, he's on pace to become the best defensive player in the league, with such a bright and long future ahead.

It's not clear yet what the illness is, but it's safe to say that Cowboys fans will be nervous over the next day or so, awaiting the announcement that Parsons is cleared to play. The report also has Dalton Schultz as questionable, who will be a big target for Cooper Rush, and if both are somehow missing, this division clash will become all the harder for the Cowboys to get to 2-1.
