Micah Parsons addresses 'warnings' to avoid QBs, Dak Prescott during Cowboys practice

Micah Parsons rarely takes a play off. The scenario does not matter too much either. It could be Aug. 5 during training camp of the final moments of a playoff game. Either way, Parsons is going to be going at 100% at all times, attempting to get to the quarterback.

While the Cowboys most likely love the mentality, they wish Parsons was not hitting Dak Prescott. They have had to warn him about doing so following a clip that emerged from practice of a potentially low clip. Nobody in Dallas wants to see Prescott go down with another injury.

Parsons addressed the warnings on Saturday, somewhat dismissing them. He said he wants to “push toward that line,” even when going up against his own teammates.

“I get warnings every day,” Parsons said via Jon Machota of The Athletic. “But you know, I’ve always been wanting to push towards that line.”

Prescott does have an injury history over the past few seasons. He missed the majority of the 2020 season with a leg injury suffered against the New York Giants. Ironically enough, the 6-10 record was how Dallas wound up selecting Parsons in the NFL Draft.

Then, there was a thumb injury suffered against Tampa Bay in the 2022 season opener. Prescott missed multiple games although the Cowboys wound up being okay without his presence on the field.

Even so, Dallas does not want Prescott to have any kind of injuries this season. Especially when friendly fire could be the cause via Parsons. Whether or not he is going to listen, those in Oxnard can only hope.

Micah Parsons preparing for monster 2023 season

Once the regular season starts, Parsons will be able to go after and hit quarterbacks that do not have a star on the helmet. It’s something he has gotten pretty good at since entering the league, moving into a full-time pass rush role. Expectations are high this season, from a personal and team standpoint.

Parsons finished with a career-high 13.5 sacks last year, bettering his rookie total by 0.5. He finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting and was named to the AP’s first-team All-Pro. Dallas has a pretty special player on its hands.

Now, Parsons will be looking to take things one step further, especially the team. His goal has always been to win a Super Bowl and the Cowboys are shaping up to seriously contend in the NFC. Parsons will be looking to break a dreaded drought occurring in Dallas.
