Micah and Tank injuries?

[GRCowboy]

I didn't see Tank out on the field all fourth quarter after it looked like he got off under his own power and was OK after running into Sam Williams on that play the Rams OG got hurt deep in their own territory. Wonder if he's out next week.

Given that it's a bye after next week, I'm wondering if Parsons will take off next week to heal as well.

So no Parsons and no Lawrence for next week... is that the consensus?

Didn’t Micah make the game sealing play? What makes you think he won’t play next week?

 

[Captain-Crash]

players play.

 

[pansophy]

Even if Micah is relegated to 3rd downs I would think he would play. He kept playing tonight -- no reason to think he sits.

Because Greg Olsen kept yammering about how soft tissue injuries like the hip/groin muscle area get worse with rest and not better. When the adrenaline is going you can push through it for a quarter or two if necessary, but when you cool off after the game it gets worse long before it gets better. My guess is he's held out next week, heals up at the bye and comes back fresh and healthy after.

They better both be playing.

Micah parsons is a DPOY candidate with half a groin.

 

[Eddie]

Tell Micah's girlfriend to take good care of that groin this week.

 

[JayFord]

i like how Parsons WANTS to be out there

because if you know anything about Cowboys injuries it seems if you knick your hand they want you out 5-6 weeks

Lol

Playing for 1st place in the East... they both play. No one takes off when not critically injured. If tge Cowboys lose, they fall 2 games back. Parsons plays

The bye is on November 5th. We have three games before that.

 

[jwooten15]

Hopefully they can heal up because those are the two most important players on defense

One more time... Playing for 1st place in the East... they both play. No one takes off when not critically injured. If the Cowboys lose, they fall 2 games back. Parsons plays

Well sit them out for three games then.

We get beat bad next week no question but probably beat both Chicago and Detroit who are anemic on offense, even without much pass rush on our end. We can win 2016 style against those types of less than stellar teams because we'll have Prescott back by then.

At some point Tyron Smith will be back as well and yes we need him, move Tyler inside or to RT but Tyron plays when he's healthy.

6-2 and the inside track for the #5 seed and top wildcard spot., with a fully healthy team for the stretch run sounds good to me.

If they can, they will play. Then think about resting them. Stopping Hurts running will be key, a healthy Micah would be a huge part of that. We'll see how he does this week

I've watched the Eagles this year. They're not as good as us if we're healthy. They struggle on offense for long stretches and they're particularly bad in second halves. Their defense is boom or bust and is prone to the big plays both against the run and pass. They're a very vulnerable 5-0. I'm more worried about GB, and, eventually, TB probably too than PHI.

Eagles will lose a few, they came close today, and we get two shots at them.

I think Kearse and/or Cox would make for a better QB spy than Micah. Wasting your future HOF pass rushing OLB as the QB spy is just blah.

I wasn't suggesting he's the spy. He'll just play a big part in the pressure and forcing things. I agree with Kearse as the spy
