Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs still can’t believe Micah Parsons is with the Green Bay Packers. On Sunday, Diggs went to X/Twitter to repost a video showing Parsons getting his first sack with Green Bay.

“This can’t be real,” Trevon Diggs wrote in the post. “Wake me up from the dream.” Micah Parsons’ sack happened late in the fourth quarter when the Packers were up 27-6. Green Bay won the season opener 27-13, and Parsons finished the day with one tackle and one tackle for loss with a sack.

Parsons was limited to 45 percent of the defensive snaps because he was dealing with a back injury. After the game, the former Cowboys pass rusher spoke to Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports about the fans at Lambeau Field cheering for him when he was introduced before kickoff.

“I can’t lie, it gave me chills,” Parsons said. “This environment, the first time, how they embraced me, the fans. This was one of one. This was really just a blessing in disguise.”

Parsons also talked about his snap count being limited because of his injury and the limited work he had during training camp. “Some of these guys on defense were just flying around, set the tone early,” Parsons said. “That really means a lot, they just letting me do catch up. And the way they’re playing right now, I can take my time because I think we’re going for the long run.”

Before the season began, the Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers, who then signed Parsons to a four-year, $188 million contract. In his four seasons in Dallas, the former Penn State star tallied 52.5 sacks and was named to the Pro Bowl four times.

Diggs and the Cowboys are looking to bounce back after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in their season opener on Thursday night. In the trade, the Cowboys acquired defensive lineman Kenny Clark along with two first-round draft picks. Clark, who was brought in to help stop the run, recorded five tackles on Thursday, but Dallas allowed 158 yards on the ground.
