Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons has left the Dallas-Fort Worth area to seek a second medical opinion for his injured back. Parsons was seen at the airport on Aug. 27 ahead of his trip, according to several reports and social media posts.
Parsons’ status comes amid ongoing discussions about his health and future with the team owned by Jerry Jones. Speculation on social media intensified after fans of teams such as the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers suggested he might be departing for another franchise, though there is no indication that Parsons is leaving the Cowboys.
The defensive end has dealt with back issues since training camp began. While an MRI conducted by the team’s medical staff did not reveal significant problems, Parsons reportedly continues to feel discomfort and wants confirmation from a different doctor.
With the Cowboys not scheduled to play again until Friday, Parsons has time to pursue further evaluation and clarity regarding his condition. This situation unfolds as conversations continue between Parsons’ representatives, including agent David Mulugheta, and team management about his contract status.
Recent reports have also touched on broader league concerns, including allegations that some players may have considered exaggerating injuries during negotiations—an issue discussed in league circles involving both NFL and NFL Players Association officials.

The regular season approaches as questions remain over whether Parsons will take further action or miss games due to “back tightness” while awaiting any possible new agreement with Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys.
