Micah Parsons won't play Sunday against his former team, the Cowboys, but he said on his podcast that if this was Super Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: Parsons has not practiced since tearing his ACL and meniscus last season. Sunday's game is against Dallas, the team that drafted him 12th overall in 2021 out of Penn State.

Why it matters: Dallas moved its former first-round edge rusher. The defense has ranked last in key metrics since the move.

By the numbers: Dallas is 2-3 with league-worst EPA per drive over a 22-game sample.

What to watch: His practice participation next week will determine when activation from the PUP list becomes possible.
