Overview

• Jerry Jones said Dallas will not stage a pregame tribute for Micah Parsons before the Packers’ Week 4 visit, contrasting the situation with past returns like Emmitt Smith’s.
• Jones also said he could use the first-round picks acquired in the Parsons deal to trade for a “really special” player, drawing criticism from media and fans.
• The Cowboys’ defense has sputtered to a 1-2 start with just three sacks and bottom-tier yardage and points allowed, while Parsons has contributed to a top-ranked Packers unit despite limited early snaps.
• Dallas expects newly signed edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney to debut against Green Bay, with team executive Stephen Jones saying they fully expect him to help in Week 4.
• Parsons was traded in late August for Kenny Clark and 2026 and 2027 first-rounders, then signed a four-year deal in Green Bay reportedly worth about $188 million with roughly $136 million guaranteed.
