Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons will miss practice again on Wednesday.

Parsons sat out of Tuesday's practice due to an illness, and head coach Mike McCarthy told the media that Parsons isn't at the facility on Wednesday as the team continues to prepare to face the Eagles on Christmas Eve.

“Micah will not be here again today. We have a number of guys, in particular, their families that are fighting through this period we're in. It’s going around,” McCarthy said at his press conference.

Several Cowboys have missed practices and games over the past month due to a bug spreading throughout the organization, but no players missed the Jaguars game because of an illness. Parsons is currently the only player known to be sick.

Parsons' status for Saturday's game is unknown, but he'll have another opportunity to practice with the team on Thursday.
