Jerry Jones Won’t Honor Micah Parsons Before Packers-Cowboys Reunion on Sunday Night

Jones’ refusal to stage a tribute highlights the competitive edge surrounding Micah Parsons’ first game back in Dallas.

Overview

  • Jones confirmed there will be no pregame recognition for Parsons and said the Cowboys need “antidotes” for him, contrasting the situation with Emmitt Smith’s return.
  • Parsons told the Associated Press that sacking former teammate Dak Prescott “is going to be painful” and said he plans to treat the trip as just another game.
  • Dallas traded Parsons to Green Bay on Aug. 28 for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, after which the Packers signed him to a four-year, $188 million extension.
  • Through three games, Parsons has 1.5 sacks and 15 pressures with top-tier analytic grades after ramping up from a back issue earlier in September.
  • Green Bay is 2-1 with a surging defense while Dallas is 1-2 and struggling defensively; CeeDee Lamb is out with an ankle injury and Jadeveon Clowney is expected to make his Cowboys debut Sunday.
