Brian Schottenheimer plans to meet with Micah Parsons to address Parsons' sideline behavior during the Cowboys' preseason win over the Atlanta Falcons. Parsons missed the entire three-game preseason amid a contract dispute and was the only Cowboys player not wearing a jersey on the sidelines. He briefly lay on a training table behind the team bench while the Cowboys were on offense, a moment that went viral. Parsons quote-tweeted a post and said he would never disrespect teammates. An MRI on Parsons' back was described as pretty clean and the coach expects him to be ready for the Sept. 4 opener. Parsons has requested a trade, scrubbed Cowboys from his social profiles, and could be retained via franchise tag.
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer plans to meet with disgruntled All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons about his actions during the team's recent preseason win over the Atlanta Falcons. Parsons has missed the entire three-game preseason during a contract dispute. He was the only Cowboys player not wearing a jersey while on the sidelines in Friday's game with Falcons. At one point in the third quarter, he laid on a training table behind the team bench while the Cowboys were on offense.
Schottenheimer said on Saturday that he wants to talk with Parsons about the incident, which went viral on social media. Without talking to Micah, I need to figure out what he was doing and why he was doing it, Schottenheimer said during the conference call. So until I talk to him, I'm obviously not going to talk about it. Parsons posted on social media after the game a quote-tweet of WFAA's Mike Leslie's post
I'd never disrespect the guys out there fighting for their lives, said Parsons, a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro. Schottenheimer said an MRI on Parsons' back on Friday was pretty clean after Parsons had mentioned back tightness at minicamp in June. The coach expects Parsons to be ready to play for the season opener on 4 September against the Philadelphia Eagles.
