Parsons made two solo tackles, both of which were sacks, in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles. The pass rusher also played on 54 percent of the defensive snaps in his first game back after missing the previous four contests due to a high-ankle sprain.

Parsons (ankle) is not on the Cowboys' inactive list for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Parsons will return Sunday from a four-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 4 against the Giants, though the 2021 first-round pick is expected to operate on a snap count, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Parsons' return solidifies the Cowboys' defensive front along with starters Chauncey Golston, Mazi Smith and Osa Odighizuwa.
Parsons (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but he's expected to be available on a limited snap count, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. According to Pelissero, Parsons probably won't be ready to play his full allotment of snaps for another week or two, but the Cowboys plan to use him on passing downs with the hope that he can apply some pressure on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. Parsons has missed the Cowboys' last four games after being carted off the field in a Week 4 win over the Giants with a left high-ankle sprain.
Parsons (ankle) is likely to return to action in Sunday's Week 10 contest versus Philadelphia, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Parsons suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 4 against the Giants and has missed Dallas' subsequent four contests. He was able to log a trio of limited practices this week, setting up his expected return to action Sunday. Parsons' return will likely result in Tyrus Wheat seeing less snaps on defense.
Parsons (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Parsons returned to practice in a limited fashion throughout the week, giving him a chance to play Sunday for the first time since sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Dallas' Week 4 win over the Giants. The Penn State product's return would be significant for a Cowboys defense that is currently tied for the fewest sacks in the NFL (18.0) through nine weeks. However, if Parsons can't play through the pain, expect Tyrus Wheat to serve as one of the Cowboys' top defensive ends.
Parsons (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports. Todd Archer of ESPN.com reported Wednesday that Parsons is expected to practice in a limited capacity this week while recovering from a high-ankle sprain he sustained in Week 4 against the Giants. If he is listed as a limited practice participant over the next two days, Parsons will likely be tagged as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Parsons (ankle) will go through a limited practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Parsons' return to practice is a significant step forward in his recovery from a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 4. The Penn State product hasn't been on the field since suffering the injury, so even with limited reps expected Wednesday, it's a good start for the week in his goal of suiting up Sunday against the Eagles.
Parsons "should be back" for the Cowboys' Week 10 matchup against the Eagles on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The 2021 first-round pick from Penn State has missed the Cowboys' last four contests after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in the team's Week 4 win over the Giants. However, Schefter's report Monday indicates that Parsons could return as soon as Week 10. Parsons has yet to practice since his injury, so he'll likely have log at least one limited session at some point this week in order to play Sunday.
Parsons (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. Parsons has yet to return to practice since sustaining a high-ankle sprain in the Cowboys' Week 4 win over the Giants, and he's now in line to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday. The 2021 first-round pick has recorded 14 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defended one pass through four appearances this season. Expect Tyrus Wheat and Carl Lawson to see increased work with the Cowboys' first-team defense while Parsons remains sidelined in Week 9.
