Micah Parsons’ Dallas Return Headlines Packers–Cowboys on Sunday Night

Dallas enters shorthanded against Green Bay’s top-ranked scoring defense.

Overview

  • Parsons faces the Cowboys for the first time since the Aug. 28 trade to Green Bay, and owner Jerry Jones says there will be no tribute for the former star.
  • The Cowboys will be without top receiver CeeDee Lamb and starting interior linemen Cooper Beebe and Tyler Booker, with Brock Hoffman and T.J. Bass set to start.
  • Cornerbacks Trevon Diggs and Daron Bland logged full practices this week, boosting a Dallas secondary that has struggled in recent games.
  • Coaches and players expect Dallas to devote extra resources to Parsons, with forecasts of frequent double-teams that could open rush lanes for NFL sacks leader Rashan Gary.
  • Green Bay is favored on the road and leads the league in scoring defense, while Dallas’ defense has dipped to four sacks and 13 completions of 25-plus yards allowed this season.
