Micah Parsons Debuts for Packers With Sack, Rips Cowboys’ ‘Toxic’ Offseason

Green Bay’s expensive bet began to show returns with the All-Pro contributing on a limited snap count.

Overview

  • Green Bay beat Detroit 27-13, with Parsons logging a fourth-quarter sack and multiple pressures in his first game at Lambeau Field.
  • He played roughly 29 of 65 defensive snaps as he ramps up from a back issue, and reporting indicated he did not need a pregame injection.
  • Postgame, Parsons called the past six months in Dallas “super draining” and “super toxic” and said being traded a week before the season was “outrageous.”
  • The Packers acquired Parsons for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two future first-round picks and then signed him to a reported four-year deal in the $186–$188 million range with large guarantees.
  • Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley and teammates praised his football IQ and willingness to play team-first roles, and reporting says the Eagles pursued a trade that Dallas declined to avoid sending him to a division rival.
