Coaches always want all of their guys at all the practices. Normal and good coaching. There is nothing else motive wise in MM comment.
So, what is Parsons doing? Obviously trying to work a big fat extension out of the Cowboys ASAP. And given the fact that Jerry and Stevie tend to be soft and cave in contract negotiations it is worth a try. A serious try. Parsons and his agent need to be told in no uncertain terms that they are at least a year too early. They need to know that the earliest extension talks will begin is after the 2024 season. And it may a season or two after that before a new contract is on the table to consider.
