Micah Parsons laid on a medical table behind the Cowboys bench during the early third quarter and was the only player not wearing a jersey. Coach Brian Schottenheimer said he will meet with Parsons to determine what he was doing and why, and said any decision would be handled internally. Parsons underwent an MRI on his back that Schottenheimer said came back "pretty clean." Parsons first reported back tightness at the June minicamp, and owner/GM Jerry Jones downplayed the issue in training camp. Schottenheimer has expressed confidence Parsons can be available for the Sept. 4 opener, and the team will factor his status into the 53-man roster. Trevon Diggs is expected to be activated off PUP and included on the initial roster.
