ESPN Cowboys reporter Todd Archer shared an image on Twitter of the linebacker going through individual drills and cord work during the media-open portion of practice. Encouragingly, there were no visible signs of extra tape or a limp on his injured ankle. Micah Parsons back on the practice field for the first time since Week 4.
