Parsons Out for Start, Cowboys Draft New Edge | Sports News
Description
Micah Parsons, the NFL’s highest-paid defensive player, kicks off the 2026 season on the PUP list after tearing his ACL and damaging his meniscus in Week 15 of last year — a brutal injury that sidelines him until potentially Week 6. Traded to Green Bay in a blockbuster deal involving two first-round picks and Kenny Clark, Parsons signed a massive four-year, $186M extension and even thanked Dallas before embracing the Pack. Meanwhile, the Cowboys used one of their draft picks to select edge rusher Malachi Lawrence — a promising pass-rusher with elite size — as they rebuild around the void left by Parsons’ departure.
