Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said the team will handle the behavior from linebacker Micah Parsons during Friday’s preseason game “internally.” Parsons, who requested a trade in the midst of contract negotiations with the team, was seen laying on a trainer’s table during the third quarter against the Falcons.
The linebacker didn’t look to be paying attention to the game, as close ups showed him with his eyes closed. Schottenheimer said he had not had an opportunity to speak with Parsons yet.
For his part, Parsons did address the situation on social media postgame. He quoted a tweet from Cowboys reporter Mike Leslie, who said the linebacker was only on the trainer’s table for “a relatively short portion of the game.”
I actually appreciate this,” Parsons wrote. “The way media shapes perception and narratives is wild—and if he hadn’t said anything, everyone would’ve just run with it. I’d never disrespect the guys out there fighting for their lives.”
