Micah Parsons on Ankle Injury, State of Cowboys & Reacts to Week 4 with Darius Slay | The Edge, S2E6

Cowboys star Micah Parsons discusses the latest on his ankle injury, why it wasn't as bad as it looked on TV, and why he's excited to get back on the field. Eagles DB Darius Slay joins the show to discuss the media reaction to C.J. Gardner-Johnson's trash talk, the vibes around both teams after 2-2 starts, why Jayden Daniels and the Commanders are a real threat in the NFC East, and they share their thoughts on how NIL is impacting college football. They also discuss Slay's top 5 CBs and WRs in the NFL right now, if Colorado star Travis Hunter will be able to play both ways in the NFL, why coaching can make or break a player, what makes Brian Flores' defense so hard to face, and what Slay appreciates about the Eagles' culture. Micah wraps up the show by praising Derrick Henry's SNF performance, giving props to Sam Darnold, and previews the Cowboys' upcoming matchup vs. Justin Fields and the Steelers.
