Jerry Jones Says He's 'sad For' Micah Parsons Following Star Pass Rusher's Season-ending Knee Injury

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones may have traded Micah Parsons after the two had a falling out, but Jones isn't going to rub salt in the wound. Jones said he was "sad for Micah" after hearing about the star pass rusher's season-ending knee injury, according to The Athletic. 

Jones made those comments during his weekly radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan. Jones wished Parsons the best on his recovery and directly addressed the former Cowboy, saying, "Micah, I wish you the very best."

Jones could have responded a number of ways about Parsons' injury, especially after the way things ended between the two in Dallas. After an offseason of contentious back-and-forth, Parsons was eventually shipped to the Green Bay Packers for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. During their spat, Jones often went on the offensive, tearing down Parsons and his agent at every opportunity. Jones didn't go down that path Tuesday.

Evaluating the trade 14 games into the season seems foolish. Parsons was phenomenal when he was on the field in 2025, racking up 12.5 sacks before the injury. The Cowboys briefly flirted with the playoffs before two straight losses dropped them out of contention. While they will wind up the more disappointing team following the trade, Dallas does have multiple draft picks to add future stars in the offseason. The Packers don't have that luxury.

Whether Jones made the right move will be determined years down the line. If the Cowboys hit on their draft picks, maybe the whole thing will have been worth it. With the way Parsons was playing prior to the injury, though, it's going to take a lot to replace him. 

Jones surely knew that when he boldly traded Parsons away in August. And while the injury might push things more toward the Cowboys, Parsons might not miss that much time if he can avoid setbacks during his recovery.
