Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones offered his best wishes to Micah Parsons on the heels of the Green Bay Packers’ star defensive end sustaining a torn ACL over the weekend.

Parsons will miss the remainder of the season after he was injured in the Packers’ 34-26 setback to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

“I’m sad for Micah,” Jones said Tuesday on 103.5 The Fan. “That’s quite a challenge. I wish him the very best on his recovery. Michael Irvin said when he had his big surgery during, I think, his second year with the Cowboys, he said he realized what football really did mean to him.

“And he said the surgery really launched him into the best part of his career, because he got to feel what it might look like not to play again. There’s a lot of ways you can couch this thing. But, Micah, I wish you the very best.”

Parsons, 26, recorded 12.5 sacks in 14 games (13 starts) during his first season with Green Bay. He was traded to the Packers from the Cowboys in August following a contract dispute.

Immediately after the trade, Parsons signed a four-year, $186 million contract with Green Bay that included $120 million fully guaranteed and $136 million in total guarantees.

The two-time All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowl selection has collected 65 sacks and 11 forced fumbles in 77 career games (76 starts) with the Cowboys and Packers.

“I may be sidelined, but I am not defeated,” Parsons wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “This injury is my greatest test — a moment God allowed to strengthen my testimony. I believe He walks with me through this storm and chose me for this fight because He knew my heart could carry it.”

“I’m deeply grateful to the Packers organization and my teammates for their unwavering support, love, and belief in me during this season. I trust His timing, His plan, and His purpose. I will rise again.”
