The Dallas Cowboys have officially moved on from the Micah Parsons era, and his No. 11 jersey has been re-assigned. The jersey number now belongs to the newest member of the team's practice squad.

On Tuesday, the Cowboys signed veteran wide receiver Parris Campbell to fill a vacant spot on the practice squad roster.

A few hours later, the popular X account NFL Jersey Numbers, announced that Campbell will be rocking the No. 11 jersey that belonged to Parsons for his entire tenure with the team.

It will be startling to see the number on someone else's back, but it's one way to close the door on the Parsons saga and turn the page to the future.

Campbell spent the last two seasons with NFC East rivals, the 2023 season with the New York Giants, and the 2024 campaign with the Philadelphia Eagles, winning Super Bowl LIX. He spent the first four years of his career with the Indianapolis Colts.

Throughout his NFL career, Campbell has hauled in 123 catches for 1,117 yards, and six touchdowns.

Maybe the No. 11 will create some magic for its unlikely new owner.
