Micah Parsons has begun practicing for the Green Bay Packers ahead of his first year with the franchise. The superstar pass rusher was traded to the Packers last week after four years with the Dallas Cowboys.While many believe that Parsons' departure from Dallas could cause the team some defensive troubles, Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has downplayed the four-time Pro Bowler's exit.“Congratulations to Micah," Eberflus said on Monday. "We wish him the best. We’re gonna focus on us. Obviously really good player. We have a lot of good rushers in the D-line room. Certainly, we’ll generate with that and other things too.”By trading Parsons to Green Bay, Dallas received defensive tackle Kenny Clark and first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2027 as part of the exchange.During his four years with the Cowboys, Parsons recorded 256 tackles, 52.5 sacks, nine pass deflections, nine forced fumbles and one defensive touchdown.Although Parsons handed in a trade request on Aug. 1, Dallas did not want to part ways with the player, nor offer him his desired contract at the time.However, following a lengthy contract standoff, the Cowboys eventually traded Parsons on Thursday.Micah Parsons and Packers open 2025 season vs. Detroit LionsGreen Bay Packers LB Micah Parsons - Source: ImagnMicah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers will begin their 2025 season against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
