The Dallas Cowboys will welcome Micah Parsons back to Arlington.
For the first time since his trade to the Green Bay Packers, the star pass-rusher will go against his former team.
That’s why he wanted Dak Prescott to know one thing: It’s going to hurt.
“It’s going to be painful,” Parsons said.

Of course, that was all in good spirits, as Parsons also opened up on his relationship with his former quarterback, and they’re pretty close.
Still, he’s going to pay the price.
Parsons and Jerry Jones went back and forth for months, and the Penn State product didn’t like the way his former boss handled things.
Ultimately, things got personal, and there was just no way they would be able to reach an agreement.
Parsons has since complained about the timing of the trade, and he also called the situation with the Cowboys ‘toxic.’
Jones, on the other hand, said that it wouldn’t be appropriate to put together a tribute video for him on his return.
Parsons will likely be extremely motivated to have a career game in the place he called home for four years.
Adding a player of Parsons’ caliber has turned Jeff Hafley’s defense into one of the best in the game.
The Packers are a legitimate Super Bowl contender, all while Matt Eberflus and the Cowboys are giving up over 30 points per game on average.
The fans will get a big reminder of what they could’ve had this season on Sunday.
