FRISCO — During an interview with The Associated Press this week, Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons said it’s going to be painful to sack his former teammate, quarterback Dak Prescott.
On Thursday, Prescott responded to Parsons, saying, “it’s going to be painful.”
“I hope it’s not for me,” Prescott said to laughter. “And I hope he doesn’t get to me, for one. Yeah, it’ll be fun. It’ll definitely be fun.”

The Cowboys host the Packers on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium in the first matchup since the blockbuster trade that sent Parsons to Green Bay for a pair of first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark.
Prescott has dealt with former teammates facing him in the past. In 2023, Prescott’s close friend, Ezekiel Elliott, returned to AT&T Stadium as a member of the Patriots.
“It’s the business of it,” Prescott said. “At the end of the day, it’s not Dak vs. Micah. It wasn’t Dak vs. Zeke. Those are never the headlines and never can be. This is [the] Dallas Cowboys vs. the Green Bay Packers and we’ve got to go get a win.”
With the teams meeting after the trade, some wondered if this game would bring closure to the summer-long drama.
“I doubt it will be the closure,” Prescott said. “I doubt [the media] is done with that. Some way, somehow it will get brought up again. Who knows? So excited to play him, excited to play this week. As I said, I think it’ll be a fun banter back and forth with a hell of a competitor.”
