Posted on | by Field Level Media

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz played through a sprained ankle sustained in his team’s season-opening win over the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

The injury, suffered early in the 29-27 road victory, is not considered severe, according to reports. But Schultz missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday for what the team termed an ankle issue. The Texans host the Chicago Bears on Sunday night.

Schultz, 28, caught three passes on three targets for 16 yards against the Colts. Last season, his first with the Texans, he played in 15 regular-season games (eight starts) and caught 59 passes for 635 yards and five touchdowns. He also caught six balls for 80 yards and a touchdown in two playoff games with Houston.

He signed with Houston after five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys (2018-22). In his career, he has 273 receptions for 2,773 yards and 22 touchdowns in 91 games (60 starts).

Safety M.J. Stewart also did not practice Thursday and is dealing with a knee/quadriceps injury. He reportedly will miss Sunday’s game, according to KPRC-TV in Houston.

Limited at practice Thursday for the Texans were wide receiver Nico Collins (illness), running back Dameon Pierce (hamstring) and offensive lineman Juice Scruggs (groin).

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons missed his second straight practice on Friday due to what is being labeled as an illness.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told the team website on Thursday that Parsons tested negative for both COVID-19 and the flu. Dallas coach Mike McCarthy confirmed on 105.3 The Fan that Parsons is dealing with allergies.

“(Parsons) is feeling better today, but he will not practice today,” McCarthy told reporters on Friday.

The Dallas Morning News reported Parsons still is expected to play on Monday when the Cowboys (1-1) visit the New York Giants (2-0) in East Rutherford, N.J. Parsons is tied for the second in the NFL with four sacks and has recorded 17 in just 18 career games.

Tight end Dalton Schultz was able to do movement and ball-skill work on the side Friday. He is dealing with a sprained right knee sustained during the Cowboys’ 20-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals last weekend.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) was seen doing conditioning work on Friday.

Prescott was injured in the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and backup Cooper Rush was at the helm last week against the Bengals.
