Jerry Jones Declines Micah Parsons Tribute Ahead of Packers-Cowboys Return

The call reflects lingering tensions and a tactical focus as Dallas plans ways to neutralize its former star in his first game back at AT&T Stadium.

Overview

  • Jones confirmed Dallas will not present a pregame video or formal recognition for Parsons, saying the Cowboys need to show they have “antidotes” for him.
  • On his weekly radio hit, Jones said he feels extra competitive drive and referenced plays he’s seen “mitigate” Parsons, framing the matchup in strategic terms.
  • Parsons told the Associated Press it would be “painful” to sack Dak Prescott and downplayed the reunion as “just another game” despite the national spotlight.
  • Dallas traded Parsons to Green Bay on Aug. 28 for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, and the Packers signed him to a four-year, $188 million deal with large guarantees.
  • Through three games, Parsons has 1.5 sacks and strong pressure metrics for the 2-1 Packers, while the 1-2 Cowboys’ defense has sagged near the bottom of league rankings without him.
