Micah Parsons will make his Dallas homecoming four games into the 2025 NFL season when he and his Green Bay Packers teammates meet the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.
Parsons, widely considered a generational defensive talent, was traded to Green Bay back in August.
After failed contract negotiations, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones shipped his franchise player to Green Bay in exchange for Pro Bowl defensive lineman Kenny Clark and two future first-round picks.
Now, Parsons gets his revenge game against the team that drafted him with the No. 12 overall pick in 2021.
Parsons and the 2-1 Packers will face off against the 1-2 Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football.”

During his weekly radio appearance with 105.3 The Fan, Jones was asked about his team’s upcoming clash with Parsons.
“I think the world of Micah. I might say I wish him well but it’s obvious I don’t this weekend in terms of Green Bay winning the ballgame,” Jones said, via The Athletic’s Jon Machota.
“… He’s going to make some plays no matter how you play him, but when I saw (other teams) play us well with Micah in the game, and it did happen, then obviously we’ll be looking to try to run those kinds of plays (against him).”
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on @1053thefan that he does feel an extra competitive drive to win Sunday with Micah Parsons returning.

The Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers on Aug. 28, just one week before the start of the season. Jones was asked if he regrets not trading Parsons earlier in the offseason.
“No. Not at all,” Jones said. “We needed this timing. We needed to be right here at the beginning of the season, in my mind, to get the highest value.”

Through the first three games of his Packers tenure, Parsons has 1.5 sacks, five tackles and six QB hits. In his four seasons with the Cowboys, the four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro pass rusher amassed 52.5 sacks, 63 tackles for loss, 112 QB hits and nine forced fumbles.
“I think the most important thing is Micah wanted to be a Cowboy,” Parsons’ agent David Mulugheta said earlier this month, via ESPN. “He grew up cheering for the Cowboys, wore the blue and white at Penn State, wore it in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys. He wanted to be a Cowboy, and we did everything we could for him to remain a Cowboy.”
Sunday’s Packers-Cowboys game will kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET.
