The controversy between Micah Parsons and the Cowboys shows no signs of stopping. In recent weeks, the defensive end requested a trade, Jerry Jones publicly stated that he made a historic offer to his star but the player’s agent rejected it, and now an incident during the preseason game against the Falcons has sparked a frenzy in the national media.

Parsons was seen lying on a training table, not paying attention to his teammates or what was happening on the field in Arlington. As a result, many fans and experts criticized him for his alleged lack of commitment.

Hours after the incident, the player posted a message on X stating that all of this was just another false narrative created by the media and that he would never disrespect his teammates. As expected, one of the most criticized figures was head coach Brian Schottenheimer, as many expect him to take action on the matter with the Dallas Cowboys.

What happened with Micah Parsons and the training table incident?

Several photographs captured Micah Parsons lying on a training table during the game against the Falcons. Although the situation lasted only for a brief period in the third quarter (not the entire game), it was enough for critics to question his attitude.

Brian Schottenheimer spoke about a possible sanction for Parsons due to his conduct on the sideline. “Without talking to Micah, I need to figure out what he was doing and why he was doing it. So, until I talk to him, I’m obviously not going to talk about it.”
