Overview

• In the Aug. 28 trade, Green Bay sent Kenny Clark plus 2026 and 2027 first-round picks to Dallas and gave Parsons a four-year, $188 million extension with roughly $136 million guaranteed.
• Parsons said he expects applause and has no hard feelings, while Jerry Jones said the Cowboys will not present a tribute.
• Dallas expects to be without CeeDee Lamb and Tyler Booker and is already missing center Cooper Beebe, yet Schottenheimer said the Cowboys are good enough to beat Green Bay.
• Parsons has 1.5 sacks and strong pressure totals through three games as Rashan Gary leads the NFL with 4.5 sacks, and Dallas’ defense ranks near the bottom of the league in yards and points allowed.
• Packers coach Matt LaFleur emphasized preparation and said he is not worried about Parsons’ emotions in his return, and Schottenheimer stressed that Green Bay’s defense poses threats beyond Parsons.
