Micah Parsons Makes Decision On Practice After Trade Request
Cowboys All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons is reportedly back at practice after an eventful past few days, but that doesn't mean we should expect to see No. 11 back on the field any time soon — at least not in Oxnard.
After feeling like he's been jerked around by the team's front office following months of contract talks, Parsons took to social media to publicly request a trade out of Big D.
"I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys," he penned in a lengthy statement to X. "My trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally. ... I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboy and wear the star on my helmet. I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make this Americas team once again. ... Unfortunately I no longer want to be here."
Jerry Jones has since responded to Micah's comments as merely being "part of negotiations." Adding, "I don't really place that with any real seriousness. We're in good shape. This is negotiation. Don't lose any sleep over it."
Parsons has been held out of practice with a "bad back" but was spotted at the team's facility this weekend per longtime Cowboys writer Clarence Hill Jr. "Micah Parsons at Cowboys practice one day after trade request," Hill reported.
Jones has described his organization as being "A Soap Opera 365 Days a Year," and that couldn't be more true this offseason.
Dallas has certainly made its share of headlines off the Micah situation, and that to Jerry may be more valuable than the few extra million or so he'll have to pay by dragging this out if/when Parsons signs.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has also said he's "talked" to Parsons amid this most recent standoff and that those conversations have been "great."
"I've talked to Micah," he shared. "I've talked to all of our guys. ... I'm not going to continue to talk about Micah's contract situation. A lot of great things are going on. ... I had great conversations with him."Micah Parsons Makes Decision On Practice After Trade Request first appeared on The Spun on Aug 2, 2025

Watch: Rams players find our their teammate's Madden ratings
The "Madden NFL" player ratings are here for the newest iteration of EA Sports' popular video game, and Los Angeles Rams players aren't too happy with some of the numbers. The team interviewed a few of the players about their teammates' ratings, including Davante Adams' overall rating, Jared Verse's speed rating, Kyren Williams' trucking ability and Tutu Atwell's speed. Adams got a 91 overall score, which both Jordan Whittington and Puka Nacua said is at least nine points too low. Verse and fellow edge rusher Young debated who has the higher speed rating, too, and the answer may surprise you. Williams, meanwhile, was pleasantly surprised by his trucking score. Check out the full video: In other "Madden" related news, Matthew Stafford earned a player rating of 88, while the Rams' rookies fell between an 68 and a 72.

Tyrol Pickleball Expands U.S. Distribution with Kittridge & Associates, Strengthens Market Leadership with Life Time and Dan Patrick Partnerships
NAPLES, Fla., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Tyrol Pickleball, the industry's first and only footwear brand purpose-built for the fast-growing sport of pickleball, has announced a major step forward in its U.S. expansion: a new sales and distribution partnership with Kittridge & Associates, a nationally recognized sales agency with a 21-person team credited for building brands like OOFOS across the U.S. Founded by performance footwear veteran Kevin Huckle in 2018, Tyrol has built its brand on specialization: footwear only, for pickleball only. With countless hours spent playing on the hot courts at the National Pickleball Center in Naples, Huckle and his wife Sharon, simply could not find a shoe that was built specifically for, and would accommodate, the unique and rigorous kinetic movements of pickleball. It simply didn't exist. Huckle found this unacceptable and got to work to create Tyrol. The brand's four foundational pillars — comfort, stability, breathability, and injury prevention — are the result of years of research into the sport's unique biomechanics. Unlike tennis shoes, Tyrol's shoes are engineered from the ground up for lateral movement, torque resistance, moisture drainage and unprecedented durability. Tyrol's credibility in performance design recently caught the attention of Vibram, the world's premier outsole maker. Vibram selected Tyrol as its pickleball footwear partner, a testament to the durability and innovation behind the brand. "Our partnership with Vibram says it all," says Huckle. "They're the best outsole company in the world, and they chose us — the only footwear brand built exclusively for pickleball — to carry their name in this category." Key commercial milestones in 2025 include: Exclusive footwear sponsor of The Life Time Open, a newly launched elite tournament backed by PPA and MLP. The October event features an unprecedented $250,000 in total prize money, including $50,000 to both men's and women's champions, attracting the best pickleball players from around the world. Media partnership with The Dan Patrick Show via iHeartRadio, positioning Tyrol at the center of sports culture and fandom. Patrick, a devoted pickleball player himself, personally sought out the brand due to its unmatched focus and performance and launched this partnership at the recent NFL Draft in Green Bay, WI, where players, coaches and media were introduced to the Tyrol difference. "As the sport of pickleball explodes in both recreational and competitive circles, we're seeing footwear become a true performance differentiator," says Huckle. "Our partnership with Kittridge gives us extensive reach in the U.S. and ensures retailers can tap into this fast-growing, equipment-hungry customer base." With a centrally located warehouse in Indianapolis, and operations in both the U.S. and Canada, Tyrol is poised to become the dominant name in pickleball footwear. Retailers, event sponsors, and media partners looking to ride the sport's explosive wave now have a dedicated, proven brand to turn to.

What time does the Rams-Cowboys joint practice start today?
Here's what you need to know about today's practice with the Cowboys The Los Angeles Rams put a bow on training camp Sunday with their 10th and final practice at Loyola Marymount, but their work before the season is hardly finished. On Tuesday, they'll head over to Oxnard for a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys before Saturday's preseason matchup at SoFi Stadium. This is an important date on the calendar for the Rams because of the value Sean McVay puts in joint practices with other teams. The Rams' starters won't play in the preseason, so he uses these practices as an opportunity for them to practice against another team in a controlled environment where there's less risk for injury. He already said starters will get most of the snaps in this practice with Dallas, making it a big day for Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Kyren Williams, Jared Verse and others. Here's everything you need to know ahead of today's action. Rams-Cowboys joint practice schedule This is the schedule for today's practice, according to the Cowboys' website. (All times are Pacific Time) Neither team has announced how long practice will last, but it will likely be at least a couple of hours – barring a fight that ends practice early, as we've seen happen in the past.
