The highly anticipated playoff season is almost here. Every playoff-bound team is now gearing up to play hard and make a run for the Super Bowl. Coincidentally, this makes it the worst time to be injured and it seems like that bad luck has befallen Micah Parsons.

The Dallas Cowboys‘ linebacker was reportedly playing in practice with a club on his injured left hand. The linebacker had revealed the nature of the injury to the press. Furthermore, he spoke about how it had come his way and lastly, his playing status. With playoffs approaching, Parsons is indeed a crucial part of the team.

Micah Parsons spills the beans

He even mentioned, “Going to be full go; no club,” indicating that he was not going to take the precautions for his injury, per NBC Sports. However, Parsons dodged answering the real cause of the injury and mentioned why he was taking off the club. He signalled that the club was making it difficult for him to take on blocks and he obviously did not want anything hindering his performance. His adamant return is surely a relief for Cowboys fans as the linebacker is the heart and soul of the Dallas defense.

The backbone of the infamous Dallas Defense

With Parsons rearing to go, the Cowboys nation will definitely be breathing easy. Whatever his controversial words off the field, Parsons’ defense is an unstoppable force of nature. The value he brings in stopping the opponents is immense. In addition to his competitive greatness, the Cowboys value Parsons’ attitude to the game. His Kobe-like response to winning mid-season DPOY is undeniable evidence as to why he is crucial for the Cowboys.

With his injury in the rearview mirror, the Cowboys are getting playoff ready. With Parsons dominating the defense, Dallas has a good chance of being home to the next Vince Lombardi trophy. It only remains to be seen how well the Cowboys play with their whole squad intact.
