Team president Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Parsons (knee/ankle) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Giants, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parsons missed some time spanning the third and fourth quarters during this past Sunday's win at Minnesota after his left leg was rolled up on. However, he was able to return and finish Week 11 with four tackles, including two sacks, and a forced fumble. While the Cowboys listed Parsons as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Jones relayed Tuesday that the pass rusher didn't have an MRI on his knee, and he's slated to return to practice in a limited capacity, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

Parsons (knee/ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parsons left Sunday's blowout win over Minnesota and was evaluated for knee and ankle injuries, but he ended up returning to the contest and said after the game that he was fine, according to Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site. However, with Dallas on a short week, the superstar pass rusher's health early in the week will be magnified more than usual. Parsons will have two more opportunities to return to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status, but despite not participating Monday, there doesn't appear to be significant concern about him missing Dallas' Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Giants.

Parsons collected four tackles including two sacks in Sunday's win over the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year phenom had five QB hits overall as he boosted his sack total to 10 through 10 games on the season. Parsons left Sunday's game for a brief stretch as he got checked out for a potential leg injury, but he was able to return to the field. His sacks have come in bunches this year -- he has five games with two, and five with zero -- and Parsons will be highly motivated to deliver a big performance in a Thanksgiving clash with the Giants, as he has yet to bring down Daniel Jones in three career meetings with the Cowboys' NFC East rivals.

Parsons (knee) has returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parsons had his left leg rolled up on late in the third quarter Sunday but returned to the field midway through the fourth quarter, even with the Cowboys holding a significant lead over the Vikings. Given his return in the lopsided matchup, it seems unlikely that Parsons will be hindered much by his injury going forward.

Parsons departed Sunday's game at Minnesota due to a knee injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parsons appeared to have his left leg rolled up on late in the third quarter, which caused him to grasp at his left knee before limping off the field. After a visit to the sideline tent, he rejoined his defensive teammates on the bench, but the Cowboys deemed him questionable to return. Considering they were leading 37-3 at the time he left the contest, Parsons likely will end Week 11 with four tackles, including two sacks.

Parsons totaled seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 31-28 overtime defeat versus the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Parsons finished in a four-way tie for the Cowboys' team high in tackles Sunday. The second-year linebacker lined up on less than 70 percent of his team's defensive snaps over the past two games, but he managed to play all but three of Dallas' defensive snaps following the team's Week 9 bye. Parsons now has 43 tackles (31 solo), eight sacks, two passes defended, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over nine games, and he'll look to add to these totals against the Vikings this coming Sunday.

Parsons notched four tackles (two solo) and one fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown during Sunday's 49-29 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Parsons' impact can't be captured by the stat sheet alone, as his scoop and score was the product of chasing quarterback Justin Fields out of the pocket, then pursuing running back David Montgomery who caught a bail-out pass that was knocked out of his hands by Leighton Vander Esch. Even on a day that didn't see Parsons build on his sack total (eight through as many contests), the second-year sensation couldn't fail to make an impact. After the Cowboys' bye Week 9, Parsons will get a chance to take on Aaron Rodgers and the struggling Packers offense.

Parsons (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parsons was a limited participant in the Cowboys' final two Week 8 practices due to the shoulder issue, but despite being listed as questionable for Sunday's game, he never seemed to be at major risk of sitting out. The talented second-year linebacker heads into Sunday ranked second in the NFL in sacks (eight), just a half-sack behind the Patriots' Matt Judon for the league lead.

Parsons (shoulder) is expected to play Sunday against the Bears despite being listed as questionable, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since Parsons isn't dealing with any sort of lower-body injury that might affect his conditioning, he shouldn't face any major limitations with his snap count if he's indeed able to avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The second-year player has emerged as one of the early favorites for the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year Award, having tallied 32 tackles, eight sacks, two forced fumbles and two pass breakups through Dallas' first seven games.

Parsons (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parsons landed on the injury report Thursday with a shoulder issue and logged back-to-back limited sessions to end Week 8 prep. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but it's certainly a concerning development for the Defensive Player of the Year candidate, who played a season-low 66 percent of the Cowboys' defensive snaps Week 7. Parsons' official availability likely won't be known until closer to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's available in any capacity, he'll likely be a must-start option in most IDP leagues.
