The Dallas Cowboys trimmed the roster down to the initial 53-man roster for the 2025-26 NFL regular season, and now that the team knows who made the cut, its full attention can be turned to Week One against the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n

Over the next week and a half, one of the main focuses will be whether the Cowboys will have superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons on the field.<\/p>\n

There have been several people in the organization who believe Parsons will be with the team, but first he needs to suit up for practice.<\/p>\n

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer revealed on Tuesday after the initial 53-man roster was finalized that the team considers Parsons healthy enough to practice after an MRI on his back came back clean.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see what the next step is.<\/p>\n

If the team considers Parsons healthy enough to practice after his MRI result came back clean, the hold-in tensions will escalate.<\/p>\n

Whenever Parsons does return to the practice field, however, it’s going to be a great day for Cowboys Nation.<\/p>\n

Of course, even if Parsons does report to practice and suit up for Week 1, he will likely be on a snap count.<\/p>\n

He remains confident Parsons will play Sept. 4 vs. Eagles but admitted it would be difficult to ask him to play 75 snaps in the opener with little practice time. But even without a full workload he said Parsons can still impact the game. https:\/\/t.co\/s1xzFF2Iay<\/p>\n

Let’s just hope it comes before the start of the regular season on Thursday, September 4.<\/p>\n
