The Dallas Cowboys officially began mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, June 10, and one of the biggest questions surrounding the team was answered. Superstar defender Micah Parsons showed up to work as he waits for a new contract extension.

Parsons has said all along that he would show up for minicamp as he has for every year of his NFL career, and he did just that.

While Parsons is in attendance, there is no word on how much work he could do, but head coach Brian Schottenheimer revealed some information that is a positive sign.
