Cowboys' Micah Parsons set for MRI after injuring ankle vs. Giants - ESPN

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Micah Parsons will undergo an MRI on his left ankle Friday after leaving because of an injury with 3:30 left to play in the Dallas Cowboys' 20-15 win over the New York Giants.

«Right now, I just iced it,» Parsons said, sitting at his locker with his left ankle taped. «I know very little. I've got an MRI [Friday], and I'm going to try to get back next week.»

He was tended to by the medical staff before limping to the sideline. Eventually, he was taken off by a cart to get X-rays.

After the game, he took a golf cart to the team bus.

«He's a helluva player. Big-time playmaker,» quarterback Dak Prescott said. «I'm not watching a lot, but [he] made a huge run stop right there on one of those last possessions.

Hoping that my thoughts are right and it's something small. He looked in good spirits, so I'm in good spirits. We're in good spirits.»

The Cowboys were in good spirits in general because of how they entered Thursday's game. They lost back-to-back home games to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens in which
