Overview

  • Micah Parsons’ trade request remains in place as he continues a training‑camp hold‑in, attending team activities without practicing or playing in the preseason.
  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Parsons’ back MRI was “pretty clean,” a development that aligns with internal expectations he can be ready for Week 1.
  • Jerry Jones maintains Dallas offered near‑record terms and claims the sides agreed in principle, while the agent‑insult allegation he shared has been publicly disputed.
  • If the team deems Parsons medically able and he still declines to participate, reporting indicates Dallas could escalate to discipline worth roughly $5.33 million over four games.
  • Dak Prescott expressed confidence Parsons will play against the Eagles, even as national voices such as Dan Orlovsky and Adam Schefter suggest a split is possible and interested teams make inquiry calls Dallas is not entertaining.
