Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons has called on the NFL to ban the low block that left New York Giants rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux with a sprained MCL. Thibodeau suffered the injury Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals in a preseason game. He was hit low by tight end Thaddeus Moss while rushing the passer. Thibodeau went down, but was back on the sideline after being checked out in the locker room. He did not play again for the rest of the game. “I don’t understand why cutting is still allowed in the NFL! We grew up as men! Let’s play ball bro! I hate to see that s— man!” Parsons tweeted Sunday night.

You have to see it and then you have to do a great job of trying to make plays with your hands. So, it’s unfortunate that KT fell .But that’s part of the game,” he said. Thibodeau was reported to be out 3-4 weeks with an injury. Daboll would not put a timetable on his return. “I’d say it’s really everyday,” he said. “I’m not predicting when a player might come back or not come back. I know he’s going to come in and get treatment. We’re going to take it day by day and when he’s ready to go out there, that’s when we’ll put him out there.” RAIDERS’ MARK DAVIS ON TOM BRADY, ROB GRONKOWSKI RUMORS: ‘I DON’T KNOW, MAN’ Kayvon Thibodeaux #5 of the New York Giants stands up after an apparent injury during the first half of a preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals at MetLife Stadium on August 21, 2022 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

You try to simulate it as best you can to get live reps, but as many reps as any of our guys can get — whether they’re a rookie or a veteran — I think that helps them. It helps every unit. KT has been doing everything we’ve asked him to do since he’s been here. He’s been a good teammate,” Daboll said. “He’s worked extremely hard. So, for sure, you never want to waste time. He’s got the right attitude. The right approach. He’s going to rehab as hard as he can and he’s going to be ready to go when he’s ready to go.” Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen, #8, throws a pass as New York Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux, #5, rushes him during the first half of an NFL preseason football game Sunday, Aug. 21, 2022, in East Rutherford, NJ (AP Photo/John Munson) CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Thibodeaux was the Giants’ No. 5 overall pick in April.
