Parsons recorded four tackles, including 2.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Commanders. The fourth-year linebacker put an exclamation mark at the end of another impressive season. Despite missing four games due to a high-ankle sprain, Parsons still finished the year with 12.0 sacks in 13 appearances, the fourth straight campaign in which he's racked up a dozen sacks or more -- Hall of Famer Reggie White is the only other player in NFL history to start their career with four straight seasons of 12-plus sacks. Parsons is heading into the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, and getting him signed to an extension will likely be the Cowboys' top priority this offseason.

Parsons recorded four tackles, including 2.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Commanders. The fourth-year linebacker put an exclamation mark at the end of another impressive season. Despite missing four games due to a high-ankle sprain, Parsons still finished the year with 12.0 sacks in 13 appearances, the fourth straight campaign in which he's racked up a dozen sacks or more -- Hall of Famer Reggie White is the only other player in NFL history to start their career with four straight seasons of 12-plus sacks. Parsons is heading into the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, and getting him signed to an extension will likely be the Cowboys' top priority this offseason.
Parsons (wrist) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Parsons popped up on the Cowboys' injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a wrist issue. However, he upgraded to full participation Friday, suggesting that he's recovered in time to play in Sunday's divisional matchup. The All-Pro edge rusher has recorded 9.5 sacks across just 12 games this season.
Parsons (wrist) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports. The Cowboys held a walkthrough Wednesday, so Parsons may have picked up the injury during Dallas' Week 17 loss to Philadelphia. His practice participation Friday will indicate his chances of playing in Sunday's regular-season finale against Washington. In the eight games he's played since returning from an ankle injury, Parsons has logged 25 tackles (16 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.
Parsons posted five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble Sunday in a 26-24 win against Tampa Bay. Parsons put together another impressive performance, with his biggest play being a third-quarter sack of Baker Mayfield that also resulted in a fumble. The ball was initially awarded to Dallas, but the call was then reversed, though the sack still pushed the Buccaneers out of field-goal range on a drive that ended in a punt. Parsons has now recorded at least one sack in five of his past seven games and has 8.5 total sacks during that span.
Parsons (illness) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. The three-time All-Pro missed practice Friday with the illness, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that he was still likely to play. Parsons has recorded 6.5 sacks in six games since returning from a high-ankle sprain that forced him to miss four contests.
Parsons (illness), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, is considered likely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Parsons missed practice Friday with the illness, but he seems to have made enough improvement in his recovery Saturday to put himself on track to play Sunday. Official word on Parsons' status will arrive when Dallas posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.
Parsons (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Parsons was added to the injury report Friday as a DNP, so this one bears watching into the weekend for Dallas. Carl Lawson, Marshawn Kneeland and Tyrus Wheat would be next up for snaps off the edge for the Cowboys if Parsons is unable to play Sunday.
Parsons recorded 2.0 sacks among his four tackles (three solo) in Sunday's win over the Panthers. Despite missing four games in the middle of the season due to an ankle injury, Parsons is on the verge of reaching double-digit sacks for the fourth straight season. In six games since his return, he's piled up 7.5 sacks, giving him 8.5 on the year with three games left on the Cowboys' schedule.
Parsons recorded eight tackles (four solo) including 2.0 sacks in Sunday's win over the Commanders. It's the second time in three games since returning from a high-ankle sprain that Parsons has rung up multiple sacks. The fourth-year player has 5.0 sacks in seven games on the year, and with six more games left on the Cowboys' schedule, he's still got a solid chance at producing his fourth straight campaign with double-digit sacks.
