<\/p>\nThe\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0are in big trouble this season. They sit with a 3-3 record that could be much worse, and they face the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0this week who are also in a must-win scenario. The issue for both of these teams is that they have so many injuries at key positions.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n There seem to be so many injuries around the league this season, but the Cowboys specifically, are in brutal shape, and they are not going to get their best player\u00a0Micah Parsons\u00a0back for this game. They may not be getting him back for multiple games after this, but still, they got a positive update from head coach\u00a0Mike McCarthy ahead of their crucial matchup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The 49ers also have some big-time injuries for their team including Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, and Deebo Samuel. Dallas has injuries to their two most important defensive players cornerback DaRon Bland and rusher Micah.<\/p>\n The team head coach commented on where Micah is at in terms of his injury, and while he is not close to being back at practice there is some optimism that he will return in the coming weeks:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What\u00a0#DallasCowboys\u00a0coach Mike McCarthy needs to see from linebacker Micah Parsons (ankle) before he is cleared to play.<\/p>\n (Video courtesy Dallas Cowboys)\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/VFi4WJoDh0<\/p>\n \u2014 Pat Doney (@PatDoneyNBC5)\u00a0October 24, 2024<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cMicah is improving,\u201d McCarthy said,\u00a0according to The Athletic\u2019s Jon Machota.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019ll be part of the rehab group today. We don\u2019t have him set for reps.\u201d<\/p>\n McCarthy was asked what he would need to see from Parsons to him to return against the 49ers, and he admitted that the team is taking it day by day with the defensive star.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, there\u2019s always a threshold of return to play. He\u2019s not over that threshold yet,\u201d McCarthy said<\/p>\n \u201cUntil he can get out there and cut it loose, I think when you have veteran players, the general is if they don\u2019t practice on Saturday they\u2019re not going to play in the game. If you\u2019re looking for a finish line, it would be full participant player in Saturday\u2019s practice.\u201d<\/p>\n McCarthy said that he wasn\u2019t concerned with Parsons\u2019 readiness, noting that he\u2019s \u201cplayed a lot of football for us\u201d and that he has a \u201chigh understanding of our defense.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Losing Micah was one of the worst possible things that could happen for this Dallas team, and they will need a miracle to turn things around this season.<\/p>\n If they do not there are surely some major changes coming for Dallas across the board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sep 26, 2024; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (11) injured in the second half against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium…. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1993,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"\n\u00a0Mike McCarthy Gives Positive Update On Micah Parsons<\/h2>\n
