Micah Parsons Calls for NFL Rule Change After Thibodeaux Injury

Cowboys star Micah Parsons called for the NFL to revisit its low block rule following Giants rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux’s knee injury in a preseason game Sunday night.

The second-year linebacker took exception with a block made by Bengals tight end Thaddeus Moss during the contest that led to the defensive end’s exit in the second quarter. Thibodeaux, the No. 5 pick in this year’s draft, was later diagnosed with a sprained MCL that is expected to sideline him for up to four weeks.

Parsons, the reigning defensive rookie of the year, passionately expressed his thoughts on the play in a tweet.
