Two of the NFL’s young stars were injured Thursday night when New York Giants receiver Malik Nabers sustained a concussion and Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons suffered an ankle injury.
“It was a banger today,” Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs said after Dallas’ 20-15 victory. “A lot of guys got banged up. It shows the fight and the resilience we have.”

Parsons was carted off the field in the fourth quarter. He had returned after hurting the ankle earlier in the game. He had two tackles, including one for a loss, to help Dallas end a two-game slide, but he did not have a sack for the third straight game.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy had not talked to the trainers after the game and was unable to say anything about the severity of his injury.
Parsons hobbled around the locker room after the game. “We won’t know more until tomorrow,” said Parsons, who said he was going to have an X-ray on Friday. ” We have no idea.”
Parsons said he was hurt when someone fell on him as he was planting his leg. He was just happy getting a win.
