Overview

  • Reports say the Packers will "unleash" Parsons with more snaps and varied alignments, while Dallas is expected to devote frequent double-teams to him.
  • The Cowboys will be without center Cooper Beebe (IR), guard Tyler Booker (high ankle sprain) and star receiver CeeDee Lamb (high ankle sprain).
  • Jerry Jones ruled out a pregame tribute and downplayed Parsons’ overall impact, saying there are ways to approach playing against him, comments that drew fan criticism.
  • Green Bay enters with one of the NFL’s top defenses, including the No. 1 scoring unit per CBS Sports, and Rashan Gary leads the league with 4.5 sacks.
  • The August deal sent Parsons to the Packers for two first-round picks and DT Kenny Clark; kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC with sportsbooks listing Green Bay around -6.5.
