Cowboy Roundup: Micah Parsons airport sighting update, Analyzing 53-man roster

Happy Thursday, Dallas Cowboys Nation. We are officially one week away from the start of the 2025-26 NFL regular season opener against the division rival, Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

While the game is just one week away, the ongoing Micah Parsons saga is no closer to a resolution. In fact, the situation is as chaotic as ever, with airport sightings and grievances being filed. Don't expect the drama to stop anytime soon, either.

Back to the football side of things, Thursday is the team's final day off before returning to the practice field on Friday, August 29, to really ramp up the preparations for the season opener.

While we wait to see what madness comes to Cowboys Nation in the coming days, let's check out some of the headlines making waves online and on social media.
