Micah Parsons faces his former team as Green Bay visits Dallas exactly a month after the Packers acquired the star pass rusher in a blockbuster trade with the Cowboys. Dallas defensive tackle Kenny Clark also is facing his former team in prime time Sunday night. The Packers sent Clark and two first-round picks for Dallas. Clark is a 2016 first-round pick, who spent his first nine seasons in Green Bay. The Dallas defense has looked vulnerable without Parsons. The Cowboys are last in the NFL in pass defense and near the bottom in sacks.

Packers player to watch

After Micah Parsons developed into one of the NFL’s top pass rushers during his four seasons with the Cowboys, the two-time All-Pro returns to Dallas to face his former team. A contract stalemate led to the trade that sent two first-round picks and DT Kenny Clark to the Cowboys. Parsons had at least 12 sacks each of his four years in Dallas. He has 1 1/2 sacks with a Green Bay defense that is among the league’s best so far.

Cowboys player to watch

With all the attention on Parsons this week, it’s easy to forget Clark is also facing his former team for the first time. And he was with the Packers twice as long as Parsons was with the Cowboys. Clark made the Pro Bowl three times in his nine seasons with Green Bay after getting drafted late in the first round in 2016. If the Cowboys were going to trade Parsons, they wanted to improve a run defense that has struggled for years. They did that, but the pass defense has been awful through three weeks — the NFL’s worst, in fact.

Key matchup

Parsons vs. Dallas offensive line. Budding star left guard Tyler Smith was just a few lockers down from Parsons his first three years in the league. The 2022 first-round pick probably never imagined he would one day have to think about blocking Parsons in a regular-season game. The same goes for the rest of a unit missing two starters because of injuries. Brock Hoffman is at center in place of Cooper Beebe (foot), and T.J. Bass figures to start in place of rookie first-rounder Tyler Booker, who was in a walking boot this week after being diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.

Key injuries

Packers: OT Zach Tom missed one game with an oblique injury, then returned Sunday at Cleveland but was on the field for just one play. Tom and OT Anthony Belton (ankle) have been ruled out. LG Aaron Banks (groin) is listed as doubtful. S Javon Bullard (concussion) is questionable. … WR Jayden Reed is on injured reserve after undergoing surgeries on his shoulder and foot last week.

Cowboys: CB DaRon Bland is set to return after missing two games with a foot injury. … CB Trevon Diggs doesn’t have an injury designation either. He’s on the injury report with a knee issue after an offseason of rehabbing his second major knee injury in as many years. He injured a shoulder against the Bears, but that didn’t show up on the injury report. … Booker, who played the entire Chicago game, is expected to miss multiple weeks along with Beebe and WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle). Beebe is already on injured reserve, and Booker and Lamb could join him.

Series notes

Green Bay is 5-0 at AT&T Stadium, the only team with at least four wins and no losses in the retractable roof venue that opened in 2009. It’s also the longest road winning streak for a Dallas opponent. … The Packers have won 10 of the past 11 meetings, including five in a row. The most recent was a gutting loss for the Cowboys, who fell 48-32 in a wild-card game when a victory would have kept them at home for the divisional round. … Green Bay has scored at least 34 points in all five visits to AT&T Stadium.

Fantasy tip

Prescott has thrown multiple TD passes in all six games against the Packers, including two playoff games. It’s the longest such streak against a single opponent in franchise history. He won’t have Lamb, but it will be offseason trade acquisition George Pickens’ first full game as the No. 1 receiver. Pickens is coming consecutive games with a touchdown catch for the first time in his career.
