The NFL is in its seventh week of the "NFL Top 100." This week, players 31-40 will be revealed. On Wednesday, the two players they revealed for Nos. 34-35 both will face the Arizona Cardinals. Both are on the same team.
Coming at No. 36 is Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons. He was No. 17 last year.
Multiple players gushed about his abilities.
Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley said, "he's in that top tier of athletic guys on the edge," including him with players like Myles Garrett. "His first step when he bends the corner is pretty impressive."
He rushes from anywhere. He is athletic and he plays with a high motor.
He has 52.5 career sacks through four seasons and has his eyes on at least 100. He has had no fewer than 12 sacks in a season, and that was last season when he played in only 13 games.
The Cardinals will play Parsons and the Cowboys on Monday night in Big D in Week 9. In two career games against the Cardinals, Parsons has just one sack. He does have three quarterback hits and three tackles for loss.
How will he do this year in Week 9? We will find out on national television.

Jarrett Stidham shines again as Broncos dominate Cardinals in 27-7 win
The Denver Broncos dominated the Arizona Cardinals with a 27-7 win in Week 2 of NFL preseason at Empower Field at Mile High on Saturday evening. The Broncos rested most starters, but coach Sean Payton made a few exceptions, including tight end Evan Engram. The veteran helped Denver march 97 yards on the team's opening drive with a 58-yard catch-and-run. After quarterback Jarrett Stidham then connected with rookie receiver Pat Bryant for 29 more yards, rookie running back RJ Harvey punched it in from eight yards out to give the Broncos an early 7-0 lead. Arizona matched that score with an 11-play, 67-yard drive that ended with quarterback Jacoby Brissett's 16-yard touchdown pass to receiver Simi Fehoko to tie the game at 7-7. Stidham later threw a touchdown pass of his own, connecting with receiver Troy Franklin on a 27-yard score to give the Broncos a 14-7 lead. After Denver's second score of the game, the Cardinals replaced Brissett with Clayton Tune at quarterback late in the first quarter. Stidham stayed in the game for the Broncos' third series and the offense drove down to the two-yard line and lined up to go for it on 4th-and-1 before offensive lineman Alex Palczewski was penalized for a false start. After the penalty backed the team up five yards, Denver settled for a 26-yard Wil Lutz field goal to make it 17-7. The highlight of that drive was a 35-yard run from running back Jaleel McLaughlin. Stidham ended up playing the entire first half and he connected with Franklin again late in the second quarter on a 17-yard touchdown pass to extend the lead to 24-7. After Lutz missed a 64-yard field goal attempt, the Broncos took a 17-point lead into halftime. Stidham finished his night 16-of-23 passing for 240 yards with two touchdowns. Lutz later converted a 35-yard field goal in the third quarter to extend the lead to 27-7. Sam Ehlinger took over at quarterback in the second half and he threw what would have been a touchdown pass to Caden Prieskorn late in the fourth quarter, but the tight end fumbled the ball and the Cardinals recovered it in the end zone for a touchback. It didn't take long for Denver to get the ball back and run out the clock, securing a 27-7 victory. On the injury front, backup offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo was carted off the field in the third quarter and was quickly ruled out with a knee injury. Gargiulo has been competing for a backup swing guard/center role. Outside linebacker Garrett Wilson also left in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. Up next for the Broncos is a preseason finale against the New Orleans Saints next weekend. Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X! Did you know: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Cardinals injury update: Rookie OL Hayden Conner has knee injury
Conner exited the game after only three plays. The Arizona Cardinals did not play well on Saturday in their second preseason game, losing to the Denver Broncos 27-7. However, excluding one injury, they seemed to come out of the game healthy. Only one player exited the game without being able to return — rookie offensive lineman Hayden Conner. Conner started the game at center but exited after the third play. It was a knee injury and he did not return. He was ruled out fairly quickly. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said they "would look at that tomorrow." He also noted that a pair of players had cramps but returned. Based on players who went down and then played later, cornerback Jaylon Jones and running back Zonovan Knight were those guys. Conner, who played guard all through college, has been getting a lot of work at center. He got the start there on Saturday because Jon Gaines, coming back from a thumb injury, "still can't snap." If Conner's injury is serious, it changes things for the offensive line and the active roster. Conner appears to be a player the Cardinals want to keep on the 53-man roster, but they probably won't have him be in their top eight linemen who would dress on game days. We will find out more in the days to come. Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
