The post Eagles HC Nick Sirianni discusses game-planning for Cowboys without Micah Parsons appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Philadelphia Eagles have just a few days remaining until they kick off their 2025 season against the Dallas Cowboys at home. Head coach Nick Sirianni quieted many of his doubters with last year's Super Bowl championship but is now looking to help his team become a rare squad to accomplish an NFL repeat.

The Eagles will kick off their season against the Dallas Cowboys , and recently got a big update for that game when Dallas traded its best player in pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers . The move would seemingly make things easier on the Eagles' offense, but could still present some challenges if they've been game-planning for Parsons specifically.
Recently, Sirianni spoke on why the Parsons trade isn't changing his approach to the game.
"We have so much going on. We're getting ready to play the Cowboys," said Sirianni, per Zach Berman of The Athletic on X, formerly Twitter. "He's in your thoughts of game-planning. They still have guys we have to prepare for — they obviously got Kenny Clark , who's a really good player and they have good depth at the defensive end group. So you don't get too wrapped up into that."
Busy times for the Eagles

The Eagles came very close to winning a Super Bowl in the 2022-23 season, but made good on that potential with last year's demolition of the Kansas City Chiefs in the big game.

Philadelphia now enters this upcoming season atop the NFL world, and will be facing a Cowboys team that is seemingly in a state of chaos in the aftermath of the Parsons trade.
However, oftentimes in the NFL and sports in general, those are the easiest opponents to overlook, and Sirianni made it clear with his assessment of the Parsons situation that the Eagles will not be taking Dallas lightly, whoever they end up trotting out on the field.
In any case, the Eagles and Cowboys are slated to kick things off on September 4 in prime time from Philadelphia. After that will be a Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs in Kansas City.
