Parsons

Micah Parsons' public callout of Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is drawing reaction across the sports world, with commentary picking apart whether the criticism was fair and what it means for the young quarterback. In other NFL news, Eagles receiver AJ Brown's return from injured reserve is also being weighed for Philadelphia's playoff push.
