Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parkins diagnosed with high ankle sprain

Micah Parsons suffers high ankle sprain

The Dallas Cowboys came away from Thursday with a win over the New York Giants. A day later, the NFC East team learned it likely has lost star linebacker Micah Parsons.

Parsons was out of the game early with a stinger. He returned after time in the blue tent only to be injured again. This time, the linebacker suffered a high ankle sprain and that could cost him time.

Remember, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert tried to play through the same injury in Week Three only to aggravate it and leave the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Dallas plays the Pittsburgh Steelers next, then the Detroit Lions before getting its bye.
