In Dallas, all eyes turned to off-field dynamics and roster battles. Micah Parsons drew scrutiny for his enigmatic sideline behavior—opting to lie on a medical table without his jersey amid contract talks and minor back issues. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer plans to address the matter directly with Parsons.

Meanwhile, backup QB Joe Milton delivered a confident performance, promising depth behind the starter. With final roster decisions imminent, the Cowboys must weigh veteran presence, rookie energy, and behavioral concerns.
