In line for reps at defensive end The Cowboys are expected to deploy Parsons primarily as a defensive end beginning with Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The hyperathletic rookie had an eventful NFL debut in the Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, tallying seven tackles and a pass breakup. Though the 6-foot-3, 246-pound Parsons is expected to be a long-term mainstay in the Dallas linebacking corps, he'll at least temporarily move to defensive end out of necessity after DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) was placed on injured reserve, and Randy Gregory (illness) was moved to the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week. The Week 2 move to defensive end should present more pass-rushing opportunities for Parsons, but whether he sticks at the position beyond Sunday will likely be based on how he fares against the Chargers. While Lawrence's injury is a long-term concern, Gregory should be in line to return to Week 3 versus Philadelphia, helping to restore some depth on the edge.

Impact The rookie linebacker got the start alongside Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch in the middle of the Cowboys' defense and outshone the two veterans, with Parsons piling up his numbers in only one quarter of action. "Micah is always around the football," coach Mike McCarthy said afterwards. "I think we all recognize that being in practice every day. He gets his hands on the ball." Parsons even drew praise from Steelers coach Mike Tomlin after the game. The crowded linebacker picture in Dallas could limit his snaps out of the gate, but Parsons' IDP ceiling is sky high if he locks up an every-down role.
