Micah Parsons Fantasy Stats

When the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers agreed to the blockbuster Micah Parsons trade this past summer, the Cowboys added a clause that essentially prevents the Packers from trading Parsons to the Philadelphia Eagles or any NFC East team. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, if the Packers trade Parsons to the Eagles in 2025 or 2026, the Packers would owe the Cowboys a first-round pick. The two teams applied the same condition to Kenny Clark, who was traded to Dallas as part of the deal and must stay out of the NFC North for the next two seasons. The clause was added due to Parsons' interest in returning to Pennsylvania to play for the Eagles. This specific trade condition initially flew under the radar, but opposing teams started to take notice when exploring the NFL's internal draft pick database ahead of the trade deadline. When the Cowboys traded multiple draft picks for Quinnen Williams at the deadline, they were prohibited from including their 2028 first-round pick in trade talks, as Dallas has to keep that selection in case they end up trading Clark. Similarly, the Packers would not have been allowed to include their 2028 first-round pick in trade talks.

The Green Bay Packers are listing All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (back) as questionable to play on Thursday Night Football in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders, according to Jason B. Hirschhorn of NFL.com. Parsons had been dealing with a back injury leading up to the first week of the regular season, but the 26-year-old managed to take the field for his Packers debut in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions, so we fully expect him to be active on Thursday evening. Parsons played 30 of the team's 67 defensive snaps on Sunday, was lined up all over the defensive line, and recorded his first sack in the fourth quarter. He might continue to have his snaps monitored as he manages a joint sprain, which will lower his fantasy ceiling in IDP leagues, but if Parsons is active, he should be started in fantasy lineups.

Green Bay Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons (back) is officially active for his team's Week 1 contest against the Detroit Lions, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Parsons is dealing with a back injury and may be on a limited snap count in his first game with Green Bay, but he will be on the field in some capacity. The All-Pro edge rusher could make things difficult for Lions quarterback Jared Goff and Detroit's passing game in Week 1.

Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons (back) is expected to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions, but his snaps will be limited. The three-time All-Pro has been managing a back injury that restricted his practice reps during his first week with Green Bay. Parsons was traded from the Dallas Cowboys just a week before the season opener, so a restricted workload is expected as he acclimates to the Packers' defense. He joins a pass rush that struggled in 2024, with Rashan Gary being the only player to record more than five sacks last season. Expect Parsons to be deployed primarily in obvious passing-down situations, where he can maximize his impact and do what he does best: pressure and sack the quarterback. His presence should immediately improve the Packers' pass-rushing effectiveness, even in limited snaps.

Green Bay Packers All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (back) was listed as a limited practice participant all week and is officially questionable to make his Packers debut in the Week 1 season opener this Sunday in a divisional clash against the Detroit Lions. The Packers sent two first-rounders and run-stopper Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys on Aug. 28 for Parsons in a blockbuster deal that makes them legitimate Super Bowl contenders, but the 26-year-old has been dealing with a back injury that could require an injection so that he can play this weekend. It's a good sign that he practiced all week, though, and Parsons is expected to play against Detroit. Parsons will be a bit more risky as a fantasy starter in IDP lineups if he's active, though, because Green Bay could manage his snap count.

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons (back) is expected to play in Week 1 when the Packers face the Detroit Lions. Parsons has been dealing with a back injury throughout the week but is expected to play through the injury. The star defenseman was a limited participant during Thursday's session, but is on track to suit up. Earlier in August, the Green Bay Packers acquired Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys in a blockbuster trade. Parsons then signed a massive four-year contract worth $188 million. In 2024, Parsons posted his fourth-straight campaign tallying at least 10 sacks. He enjoyed his best season in 2023 when he racked up 14 sacks. Given his elite talent, Parsons will provide a significant boost to the Green Bay defense. However, the Packers' defense is best left on fantasy benches this week, facing the high-powered Detroit offense.

League sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Philadelphia Eagles "made a strong push" to trade for All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons, who was eventually traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers. Understandably, the Cowboys had no interest in trading the two-time All-Pro within their division, especially to the rival Eagles. After trading two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to Dallas for Parsons, the Packers locked him up with a record-breaking four-year, $188 million deal, which includes $120 million fully guaranteed and $136 million in total guarantees. The Eagles adding Parsons would have made an already stout defense that led the league in total defense in 2024 that much stronger. With the addition of Parsons, the Packers quickly have become a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Dallas Cowboys superstar edge rusher Micah Parsons (back) recently underwent an MRI on his back, and the results "came back pretty clean," head coach Brian Schottenheimer said. Parsons hasn't been practicing with the Cowboys amid a public spat over his contract and a trade request, though he has also cited back tightness as a reason for sitting out. After getting good results from the MRI, it doesn't appear Parsons' back will prevent him from playing Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4. The bigger question will continue to be whether the 26-year-old will find common ground in contract negotiations with the Jerry Jones-led Cowboys. If not, the Cowboys could open the season without the face of their defense and someone who has already amassed 52.5 sacks in his first four years in the NFL.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Dallas Cowboys have received multiple trade inquiries on disgruntled pass-rusher Micah Parsons, but the Cowboys are not entertaining those trade inquiries right now and don't plan to trade him. Fowler goes on to say that it would take "some sort of Herculean-sized offer" for Dallas to even seriously consider trading him. The Cowboys and Parsons have the next 10 to 12 days before the start of the regular season to try and hash out a contract extension, and people in the organization that Fowler has spoken to remain optimistic that something can get done. If Dallas changes their tune on a potential trade, teams like the Packers, Cardinals, and Ravens could get involved. Parsons has 52.5 sacks in his four years in the NFL and has been aPro Bowler each season, but his IDP fantasy value is a bit unsettled with a potential holdout seeping into the start of the regular season.

Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons has removed all Cowboys-related content from his X profile, per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. Parsons is currently engaged in a highly public feud with the Cowboys while he seeks a contract extension from the team. The 26-year-old requested a trade out of Dallas in early August, but there's been no indication that the Cowboys plan on moving him. Parsons has made an All-Pro team in each of his four NFL seasons and has finished in the top three in the Defensive Player of the Year voting three times. He's recorded 52.5 sacks in 63 career games, making him a worthy pick in IDP fantasy leagues.
