When the Dallas Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers this week, they will do so without star pass rusher Micah Parsons for the game. He has been ruled out for the contest while dealing with an ankle injury.

Dallas is already without some of their star players for this game so the absence of Parsons is huge. They will have to find a way to take down the explosive 49ers offensive attack without their best pass rusher.
Parsons has been trying to work his way back from an ankle injury that has kept him out of the last few games. There was some hope that he could suit up for this contest but he isn't healthy enough just yet.

The Cowboys are already missing multiple defenders this season. Sam Phillips is out for the season with a torn ACL and DeMarcus Lawrence is on injured reserve with a foot injury.
It's been a troubling season for the Cowboys already and their path gets harder with the 49ers ahead of them. The hope is that Parsons can rest up again this week and return next week when they take on the Atlanta Falcons.

Dallas currently sits with a record of 3-3 on the season, somehow staying afloat despite all the injuries. They are two games behind the NFC East-leading Washington Commanders and there is still time to turn things around.

But the injuries are piling up and Dallas needs to find a way to grab a win this week. Luckily for them, San Francisco has been reeling with injuries all season as well.
Because of all these injuries, this game could turn out to be a complete slugfest. However, this is still going to be a solid matchup because of the bitter rivalry between these teams.
San Francisco is 3-4 on the season so they will be desperate to defend home-field and get the win.
Dallas could have their hands full this weekend so others will need to step up their play in this game. If they can come away with the win, it could set off a nice run toward the playoffs.
