Micah Parsons Debuts for Packers With Sack, Calls Cowboys Exit 'Super Toxic'

His limited Week 1 role still validated Green Bay's aggressive late‑August move to reshape its defense.

Overview

  • Playing through a back issue, Parsons logged roughly half the snaps, generated multiple pressures and his first Packers sack in a 27-13 win that held Detroit to 46 rushing yards.
  • Parsons said he did not need an injection to play and expects to be full go by the end of the month after managing an L4/L5 facet joint sprain.
  • Postgame, he described his final months in Dallas as "super draining, super toxic" and called being traded a week before the season "outrageous."
  • Green Bay acquired Parsons in late August for two first-round picks and Kenny Clark, then signed him to a four-year, $188 million deal with $136 million guaranteed.
  • Reports say the Eagles offered two first-rounders plus a third- and fifth-round pick, but Dallas declined to deal Parsons inside the division.
