On Thursday, at Cowboys training camp, Parsons was not present at practice. Parsons, who is conducting a hold-in in hopes of landing a contract extension, had been watching practices from the sidelines and talking to teammates at practices in Oxnard.

The reports began to emerge Thursday afternoon. The Dallas Cowboys were out on the training camp practice field, but Micah Parsons wasn't there, even on the sideline. Neither was Jerry Jones. Was a negotiation happening? Had Parsons left camp? The rampant possibilities quickly took over social media.
