Schottenheimer added that the team is not altering any of their defensive game plans as they expect to have Parsons in the fold this season. This, one day after Jones said that Cowboys fans shouldn't lose any sleep over the situation .

Holding out does come with some financial repercussions. As a fifth-year option player, Parsons is subject to the full veteran fine of $40,000 for each day of training camp missed. He'll also be docked a game check for each preseason game missed.
