Parsons collided with a teammate before landing hard on his lower back. As he returned to the sideline, he was caught holding his lower back. NBC's Melissa Stark reported that he was briefly taken into the medical tent and examined for a concussion.
Parsons dealt with back trouble throughout the preseason, missing each of Dallas' three games as a result of the ailment. He's played in every game since joining the Packers, although he played limited snaps in Green Bay's Week 1 win over the Lions.
Parsons watched on from the sidelines as the Cowboys scored a go-ahead touchdown. He appeared frustrated with the play, stretching his arms in exasperation after exiting the medical tent.
