When the Dallas Cowboys traded away Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, they received a strong haul in return. Along with two future first-round NFL draft picks, the Cowboys landed three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark.

Clark was introduced to the Cowboys media on Friday evening and made it clear that he is ready to hit the ground running in Big D.

Not only is Clark excited to get to work with his new team, but he's also eager to see the field to start the 2025-26 NFL regular season.

Because Clark has been participating in Packers training camp and offseason workouts, he believes he is currently in game shape and ready to play.

"I'm in shape," Clark said, via DallasCowboys.com. "I've been practicing in Green Bay [and] training camp. I ain't missing no time.
So whether it's 30 plays, 50 plays, 20 plays, whatever it is, I'm going to be able to play."

Clark also believes he's prepared for Matt Eberflus' attacking defensive scheme and ready to learn even more from the coaching staff.

"We played a little bit of an attacking scheme last year," Clark said. "I'm pretty much caught up on it a little bit — a lot of the same principles, and stuff like that. Once I'm done with this [interview], I'm going to the meeting rooms and get with the coaches and try to learn the playbook as fast as possible, so I can hit the ground running against the Eagles."

It's going to be exciting to see what Clark brings to the field in Dallas, and we won't have to wait much longer. Dallas and the Philadelphia Eagles open up the season on Thursday, September 4, in primetime.
