Jerry Jones said what all Cowboys fans noticed about Micah Parsons in Packers debut

Thursday night was the opener for the Dallas Cowboys, but many fans were just as interested in the action on Sunday.

One game in particular stood out as the Green Bay Packers took on the Detroit Lions. While these are two potential NFC rivals for Dallas to worry about, the true focus was Micah Parsons, who was making his debut with the Packers.

Parsons was traded ahead of Week 1 by the Cowboys following a lengthy contract dispute. While the two sides negotiated (I use that term loosely), Parsons sat out. He claimed, however, that he wanted to practice but was dealing with a back injury.

On Sunday, he was suddenly able to suit up and recorded a sack for Green Bay. Most fans surely noticed Parsons moved perfectly fine, and they weren't alone in that observation. Dallas owner and general manager Jerry Jones also saw Parsons' performance, and dropped a quote about the miraculous healing while on 105.3 The Fan.

“From what I saw, I thought he was able to get in there and not have any influence from his back. I say that with a straight face, I do. I wish him well, except against the Cowboys.”

Jones' line about a "straight face" is an attempt at saying he wasn't being facetious, but it's fair to assume there was a small amount of sarcasm in his words.

He's been around long enough to know Parsons was using the back as a reason to put pressure on Jones during negotiations, and Jones used his appearance on The Fan to let Parsons know he wasn't fooling anyone.
