Jerry Jones said earlier this week that Parsons and Bland will likely be game-time decisions, so the slow start to the week of practice seems to back those claims up.

It will be interesting to see how the players continue to improve as the week of practice goes on.

Kickoff between the Cowboys and 49ers on Sunday Night Football is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, with live streaming on Peacock.
