Micah Parsons’ potential reunion with the Dallas Cowboys looks less and less likely to happen in Week 6.
The Cowboys head to Lambeau Field for a Sunday night matchup with the Green Bay Packers, and the possibility of Parsons lining up across from his old team had plenty of attention attached to it. But that buzz has cooled after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Green Bay isn’t expecting the standout pass rusher back at practice this week as he continues working back from a torn ACL.
“Packers are not anticipating that their standout pass rusher Micah Parsons will return to practice this week as Green Bay prepares for Sunday night’s game vs. the Dallas Cowboys, per sources,” Schefter wrote. “There still is uncertainty about exactly when Parsons will return from his knee injury, but the hope still remains it will be this month.”
If that timeline holds, the next possible windows are limited. The Packers play the Detroit Lions on Sunday, October 25, in Week 7, and then host the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football in Week 8.
For Dallas, Parsons staying sidelined would be a welcome break for an offensive line that can use it. Starting left tackle Tyler Guyton is expected to be available for Sunday night, even after leaving last week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a back injury that required X-rays. The injury wasn’t considered serious, but any scare involving a player like Parsons would have only added to the concern.
Now, the Cowboys can turn the page from the noise around Parsons and focus on cleaning up after last week’s rough showing against the Bucs. Dallas also has three extra days of rest, while Green Bay is coming off an emotional win over a division opponent, setting up a spot that could fit the definition of a trap game.

Trevon Diggs Just Became A Brutal Reminder Of Cowboys Debate
Trevon Diggs once looked like one of the Cowboys best homegrown defensive stars, a ballhawking corner who helped define the secondary when he was at his peak. Now, with Diggs on the Seahawks practice squad, his career path has become a sharp reminder of how quickly NFL value can change, especially for a player whose reputation was built on splash plays and big moments in Dallas.
The shift also circles back to an old Cowboys debate about whether the team got the most out of his talent, or whether the rise was always going to come with some volatility. After a recent game against the 49ers, when Mike Evans mocked Diggs, the optics only underscored how far his standing has fallen, and why there has been so little obvious interest from other teams in giving him a larger role.

Ravens Just Addressed A Line Problem Fans Have Been Watching
The trade market has been busy ahead of the 2026 deadline, and one of the more notable moves for Cowboys fans to keep an eye on is the Ravens landing center Cam Jurgens from the Eagles. It is the kind of roster fix that speaks directly to a problem teams often try to solve before it turns into a bigger issue, especially along the line where stability can shape everything else an offense wants to do.
Around the league, the Cardinals dealt Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Texans, the Steelers sent Joey Porter Jr. to Dallas, and the Vikings moved J.J. McCarthy to the Giants, making this a deadline defined by teams trying to patch holes and adjust on the fly. For the Cowboys, the bigger picture is how these moves ripple through the playoff race and how aggressive contenders are willing to be when a clear weakness shows up on tape. [Read more 🡒]
Nick Sirianni Faces More Heat As Eagles Mistakes Keep Piling Up
Week 5 was rough across the NFC East, but Dallas felt especially familiar on the losing end after the Cowboys dropped a home game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was another reminder of how quickly the conversation around the division can shift when everyone seems to stumble at once, from Washingtons blown lead and tie with the Giants to Philadelphias setback against Jacksonville.
For the Cowboys, the loss adds another layer to the early-season frustration, even as head coach Brian Schottenheimer works to steady things in a market that does not usually move fast on midseason changes. In a division where coaches are already being measured against expectations and their own mistakes, Dallas is now part of the same uneasy conversation about how much patience remains if the results keep coming up short.
