It remains to be seen whether linebacker Micah Parsons will play.<\/p>\n<p>To have any chance to be ready to go, he needs to start practicing soon. It will be important for the Cowboys to get him ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day as soon as he can get out there, that\u2019s great, but again there will be a ramp-up plan for him,\u201d coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday, via Todd Archer of ESPN.com. \u201cAnd when he lines up out there to play, do I think he would play 75 plays and every play? Probably not. I don\u2019t think that that\u2019s real. But I do think that he can be very disruptive like we all know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First, they have to get him to practice. The Cowboys could inform Parsons that they believe he\u2019s healthy, and that he faces discipline for conduct detrimental to the team if he continues to fail to practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day that he can get out there and get reps would be great,\u201d Schottenheimer added. \u201cBut I do think very strongly that him being around has helped him. Doing some of the walk-throughs and things like that, it does help. There\u2019s communication, there\u2019s signals that come from the sideline, there\u2019s communication from player to player that he\u2019s getting all those things. . . . But the best way to get better at football is to play football, so I would say as soon as possible would be the desired effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parsons has shown no inclination to relent in his position that he wants to be traded. The Cowboys have shown no inclination to abandon the position that he agreed to a deal in March, without the involvement of his agent.<\/p>\n<p>It has been ugly at times. It\u2019s going to reach critical mass soon, because Parsons can\u2019t simply show up and play on September 4 without any preparation to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The clock is ticking, more and more loudly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":83896,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
