Jerry Jones isn’t sure Micah Parsons will be on the field for the start of the Cowboys’ 2025 season. Parsons was on hand for the Cowboys’ joint practice with the Rams on Tuesday, but did not speak with Jones — the two have not talked since he requested a trade last Friday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

However, they were still without their best defensive player, All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons.  That's because Parsons and team owner/general manager Jerry Jones are in a negotiating stalemate. Jones attempted to downplay Parsons' on-field absence after practice Tuesday and said he feels the two sides are built to overcome their issues even after Parsons requested a trade on Friday.

The Cowboys conducted their first and only scrimmage of training camp Tuesday against the Los Angeles Rams, and their best pass rusher — maybe their best player — watched from the sidelines wearing a white team jersey and grey Penn State sweatpants.
