New footage emerges of fight between Micah Parsons, Tyler Biadasz
A new angle of Wednesday’s fight at Dallas Cowboys training camp shows how star edge rusher Micah Parsons flung haymakers at center Tyler Biadasz‘s helmet. Luckily for both the lineman and defensive lineman, Biadasz was wearing one of the cushioned Guardian caps over his helmet.
Without the cushion, Parsons risked severely injuring his hand in his attempt to blow off some steam.
The new video clearly shows the third-year defensive star landing two blows before backing away. Then, fellow defensive lineman Sam Williams comes in and shoves Biadasz. In the same practice, cameras also captured an offensive lineman leveling Williams before a full-on scrum erupts.
Speaking with the media after practice, Parsons, who received a talking-to from quarterback Dak Prescott, explained his side of the incident.
“Hell yeah, I need that,” Parsons said, via the team’s website. “I’m here to make them better. I push myself to the greater good and me pushing myself is only gonna make them better, at the end of the day. I don’t care who I’m up against… Don’t care if it’s Tyron [Smith], if it’s Zack [Martin], if it’s Tyler Smith — I’m gonna beat the hell out of them.
“It’s only gonna make them better. … This is where championships get started — right here in camp. The goal is to bring that out, and the camaraderie, to bring it all together. It’s only one goal at the end of the day.”

The Cowboys aren’t doing joint practices with other teams but it appears they’re still finding ways to keep the competitive energy high.
Micah Parsons, Cowboys get chippy on final day in Oxnard
Parsons added that his hand, which connected with Biadasz’s helmet, is fine. Perhaps the fiery competition can be attributed to it being the team’s last day in Oxnard before returning to Dallas in preparation for the 2023 regular season.
“It’s the last practice of camp, man,” Parsons said. “You gotta bring all you got. That’s what this is about. I told guys before we went out there that this is our Super Bowl [on the line]. It was nothing more than being ferocious and being a dog competitor.”
Safety Jayron Kearse agreed, saying “we ain’t taking no s— from nobody.”
“We ain’t taking no sh-t from nobody — all 32 teams — we ain’t taking sh-t from nobody,” Kearse said. “Whether it’s our offense or the next offense. We’re trying to show we’re the best in the business, so it gets spicy out here, it’s gonna get spicy on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays; whenever we line up, that’s how we’re gonna come.”
