Micah Parsons Expected To Play Despite Battling The Flu

Micah Parsons Expected To Play Despite Battling The Flu

12 months ago

Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons (illness) is believed to be battling the flu, according to a source. The Cowboys have added Parsons to the Week 14 injury report, but he's expected to play on Sunday night in the big divisional showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old All-Pro pass-rusher could be at less than 100 percent on Sunday evening while being under the weather, but it doesn't mean he won't have a big impact on the game. In 12 games for Dallas this year, Parsons has caused havoc with 42 tackles, 11.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for Dallas' defense. The Cowboys' defense/special teams faces a tough task against the Eagles offense in Week 14, but Parsons needs to remain in starting IDP lineups despite his illness.
