It has been a week of rough news for the Dallas Cowboys on the injury front, but they did get a bit of a boost on Saturday.

Star pass rusher Micah Parsons is set to return for the Cowboys on Sunday, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. Parsons practiced in full on Saturday and plans to return after four weeks out dur to a sprained ankle.

Micah Parsons will make his return to the lineup Sunday against Philadelphia after missing the last four games with a high left ankle sprain, per multiple sources. He was able to get through Saturday's practice without any issues. A big return for a Cowboys defense.

Parsons’ injury has been an undeniable blow to the Cowboys. He had double-digit sacks in each of his first three seasons and has been a vital part of their pass rush. He also prided himself on his durability, and it was weighing on him very heavily that he was unable to suit up over the last month.

Ultimately, however, Parsons’ return might prove too little, too late for the Cowboys. The news they received on Dak Prescott Saturday is an enormous blow that this cannot make up for.
