FRISCO – Cowboys rush end Micah Parsons said Monday he’s not sure if he’ll play in Sunday’s game against the 49ers.
Parsons has missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain.
“It’s still in the air,” he said. “Obviously there’s more than just me. I got to clear it with (director of rehabilitation) Britt (Brown), the coaches, the head coach. They want to make sure, obviously, there’s so many more games left and I come back for the best results. Sometimes it’s not always the players (to make the decision), it’s the people (with) the higher paid grade.”
Parsons suffered the injury against the New York Giants on Sept. 26 and was expected to miss two-to-four weeks. The recent bye week allowed Parsons to get three weeks of recovery with the opportunity to play this weekend.
“For me, it’s more of getting the sense of how I (get my) explosion (back), acceleration and things like that,” Parsons said. “That was the biggest thing for me.”

“But until we really get rocking and rolling on Wednesday and Thursday, that’ll be the real information, and we’ll know where those guys are,” Mike McCarthy said.
Receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) remains on injured reserve with a possible return after the Eagles game on Nov. 10.
