Micah Parsons, the Dallas Cowboys' hybrid defensive end, has been present at the team's minicamp despite missing portions of the offseason. Parsons explained that his absence from voluntary OTAs was to allow his body to heal, as he is an undersized rusher who gets banged up every year. He emphasized that he used the time to get stronger and faster, including activities like sumo wrestling. Parsons also commented on his relationship with the new defensive coordinator, Mike Zimmer, noting that they have not spoken much but he is looking forward to building chemistry.

Additionally, Parsons stated that securing a new contract is not a priority for him at the moment. Paul Guenther, the run game coordinator, has been helping Parsons stay caught up with the team's defense.
