Parsons says the snub doesn’t bother him and he intends to keep the focus on preparation rather than sentiment.

Overview

  • Parsons returns Sunday night to face the Cowboys for the first time since an Aug. 28 trade sent him to Green Bay for Kenny Clark plus 2026 and 2027 first-round picks.
  • Green Bay immediately made Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback with a four-year, $188 million deal including $136 million guaranteed.
  • Parsons said he expects applause in Arlington and noted he hasn’t spoken with Jerry Jones since OTAs, while Dallas confirmed there will be no tribute video.
  • Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said one player wouldn’t have fixed Dallas’ 1-2 start and outlined plans to give Parsons extra attention as injuries sideline CeeDee Lamb, Cooper Beebe and Tyler Booker.
  • Eased in by a back issue, Parsons has 1.5 sacks and multiple high-pressure games through three outings for the 2-1 Packers, helping free Rashan Gary, who leads the NFL with 4.5 sacks, as Dallas’ defense ranks near the bottom of the league.
