Dallas Cowboys fans concerned that star defenseman Micah Parsons was carted off the field and had to be taken to the team bus after the game can relax a little.

Parsons was seen in a video captured by WFAA Dallas walking, visibly limping, as he left the team bus shortly after the Cowboys landed back in Texas following their Thursday Night Football victory against the New York Giants.

Initial reports are that Parsons has a high ankle sprain, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday morning, with the caveat that the linebacker still needs to undergo an MRI to diagnose the injury.

Here’s everything you need to know about Micah Parsons’ injury:

Here’s a video of Parsons gingerly walking off the Cowboys team bus after the trip back to the Dallas area following their win over the Giants:

When did Micah Parsons suffer his left ankle injury?

With less than four minutes left in the game on a crucial third down, Parsons was blocked by Giants center John Michael Schmitz against right guard Greg Van Roten, who fell to the ground on Parsons.

“While I was planting, a guy fell on me,” Parsons said after the game.

What did Micah Parsons say about x-rays of his left ankle?

Parsons confirmed he had a left ankle injury and said X-rays were negative.

Why was Micah Parsons ejected during the Cowboys-Giants game?

The cart was used to help the Cowboys star get around immediately after his injury.

Parsons walked gingerly off the field and struggled to put weight on his left leg while being assisted by trainers. He was later taken to the locker room, with his left boot removed, and walked into the locker room with a significant limp after the match.

How long will it take Micah Parsons to recover?

According to Cleveland Clinic, it can take six to eight weeks to recover from a high ankle sprain, which is a tear or damage to the high ankle ligaments that connect the tibia to the fibula.

A 2022 study published by the National Institutes of Health supported this, finding that athletes took between 5 and 8 weeks to recover, depending on treatment.

How many games could Micah Parsons miss for the Cowboys?

The Cowboys have 10 days before their next game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 6, but that could be too early for a return. The Cowboys Week 6 home game against the Detroit Lions on Oct. 13 could also be too early.

Dallas has a bye week in Week 7 and returns to play in San Francisco on October 27, four weeks after his injury.

Cowboys games following the four-week injury for Parsons: Dallas visits the Atlanta Falcons (Nov. 3), hosts the Philadelphia Eagles (Nov. 10), hosts the Houston Texans (Nov. 18) and visits the Washington Commanders (Nov. 24 ).
