Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons began working his way back from an ankle injury, practicing Wednesday for the first time since Week 4.
Parsons said Wednesday he’d rate his chances of playing against NFC East rival Philadelphia as high despite being a limited participant as the Cowboys began work on the Eagles.
While Parsons was sidelined, the Cowboys (3-5) won only once, enter on a three-game losing streak and likely won’t have quarterback Dak Prescott until December.
“I still believe we can make a run,” Parsons said.
It could be a prime opportunity for the three-time All-Pro pass rusher based on the injury status on the Eagles’ offensive line.
The Eagles might be down to Tyler Steen at left tackle for Sunday’s game. Jordan Mailata is on injured reserve and three offensive linemen missed Wednesday’s practice for Philadelphia, including tackle Fred Johnson.
“He’s feeling better, he’s going to get some practice time and it’ll be a big day to point us in that direction,” head coach Mike McCarthy said of Parsons. “He’s looking good. He’s confident.”
