Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons Set for Week 3 Duel in Cleveland After Market-Reset Deals

Green Bay's $47 million-per-year addition enters Week 3 on a managed workload, vowing to hunt Joe Flacco.

Overview

  • Garrett said Parsons had vowed in an offseason sauna chat to top his $40 million-per-year extension, a promise realized when Parsons signed four years at $188 million after his move to Green Bay.
  • Parsons arrived from Dallas in a blockbuster that sent defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks to the Cowboys.
  • Managing a back issue, Parsons logged 30 snaps in Week 1 and 47 in Week 2; he is off the injury report, though the Packers have not committed to a full-game workload.
  • Parsons said he is targeting Joe Flacco next and embraced the moniker “The Hunter,” stressing he is focused on the quarterback in front of him rather than next week’s return to Dallas.
  • The Packers are 2-0 and Jordan Love has yet to be sacked, while the 0-2 Browns lean on Garrett, who is tied for the league lead with 3.5 sacks as Parsons has 1.5 through two games.
