Micah Parsons and Brian Schottenheimer Are Expected To Address Cowboys Sideline Conduct

Micah Parsons was recently seen reclining on a medical table behind the Dallas Cowboys bench during their preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons. ESPN’s Todd Archer has indicated that the star linebacker will hold discussions with head coach Brian Schottenheimer on Sunday. Notably, Parsons was the only player who opted not to wear a shirt while on the sidelines, a decision seemingly connected to his ongoing contract negotiations with the team, leading him to request a trade. Reports following Parsons’ MRI on his reportedly “sore back” revealed no significant issues. According to team owner Jerry Jones, the back discomfort may stem more from contractual disputes than a true injury. Until Parsons secures a new agreement, his tenure with the Cowboys remains ambiguous. Schottenheimer mentioned a need to understand Parsons’ sideline behavior thoroughly before making public statements. The Cowboys are set to face the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, on September 4.
