The Dallas Cowboys' 20-15 win over the New York Giants feels bittersweet for all kinds of reasons, from another lackluster playcalling performance and poor coverage and tackling to legit question marks about how good the team really is.

However, it's Micah Parsons' injury that really left fans concerned as the Cowboys got to 2-2 in Week 4. If fans are looking for a silver lining, it might be Parsons' words to quarterback Dak Prescott: "I'll be good."

DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) says he’s in pain but he’s going to be fine. Micah Parsons (ankle) is limping around the locker room, definitely in pain. He told Dak: “I’ll be good.”

With an MRI likely to happen on Friday, Cowboys Nation will have to be patient as they await an official update on Parsons' health, but his message to Prescott suggest he avoided a long-term injury, which became the immediate fear as he was carted off the side to the locker room for an X-Ray.

Parsons told reporters the X-rays were negative, via Jon Machota of The Athletic.

The Cowboys defense has been far from good over last three weeks. That goes for the run defense as many already know but the pass rush has been close to non-existent. Remove Parsons from that equation and the Mike Zimmer's unit would be in danger.

For now, there's nothing to do but wait for further information on Parsons. So far, however, it seems like he avoided a major injury.
