The Dallas Cowboys are in the middle of a very public dispute with star pass rusher Micah Parsons. However, Parsons indicated throughout the offseason that he would report to training camp as a full participant in the middle of the dispute.
Parsons did just that, which made Jones’ words on the situation all the more surprising.
“Cowboys owner Jerry Jones randomly takes a shot at Micah Parsons, saying even if they sign him, it doesn’t mean they’ll have him, because he was hurt for 6 games last year (fact check: he only missed 4), He then also says they made Dak Prescott the richest player in football — and he missed two-thirds of the year, “ NFL insider Ari Meirov reported.
However, it would appear there was some truth to Jones’ words, as Parsons is now dealing with an Injury.
“Cowboys DE Micah Parsons said he’s dealing with back tightness. ‘It’s something that I feel is going to hold me back, so I just need to rehab.’ Parsons said his agent has reached out to the Cowboys and now it’s up to Dallas to return the call,” reported The Athletic’s Jon Machota.

Fans reacted to the injury on social media.
“As a life long fan any fan who puts any hope in this team is just delusional at this point,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“This does not sound good at all, typical cowboys waiting until the last minute to get anything done while alienating their players in the process,” someone else added.
“Jerry is an idiot and maybe one day he’ll learn. But if I’m a free agent, I’d think twice before going to Dallas,” another fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see how this situation unfolds.
