Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer will meet with star pass rusher Micah Parsons on Sunday after Parsons was seen lying on a medical table behind the Dallas bench during Friday night’s preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons, according to a report from ESPN’s Todd Archer.

Parsons, who is in the middle of a contract dispute with the team and has requested a trade as a result, was the only player that did not dress to not wear a jersey on the sideline.

Parsons had an MRI on what has been described as a “sore back” on Friday, which came back clean. Team owner Jerry Jones said that the back issue for Parsons is more of a byproduct of stale contract negotiations than a serious injury.

Parsons’s future with the franchise remains up in the air as long as the defensive end does not have a new contract in place. Schottenheimer said that he will speak with Parsons about his lackidasical sideline behavior Sunday.

“Without talking to Micah, I need to figure out what he was doing and why he was going it. So until I talk to him, I’m obviously not going to talk about it [with the media].”

The Cowboys open the season on Thursday, Sept. 4 against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
