It’s downtime for Micah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers. After fighting the Dallas Cowboys to a 40-40 tie last Sunday, the Packers are enjoying some extended rest, as the team is on a bye in Week 5.

Parsons appears to have used some of the extra time to have fun in Texas, where he was seen shooting hoops at the State Fair of Texas.

The four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher was traded to Green Bay in August by the Cowboys in exchange for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and a couple of future first-round picks. So far in the 2025 season, the former Penn State Nittany Lions star has 2.5 sacks and four solo tackles to go along with a Pro Football Focus overall grade of 92.7 — the best among all edge rushers.

Someone like Parsons surely is easier to spot for football fans, especially in Texas. After all, he spent his first four seasons in the NFL with the Cowboys, during which he blossomed into a legitimate superstar.

“Still a cowboy at heart,” said a fan on X.

Another one said: “Packers have a bye week. He is probably handling business here and just taking a break. He really didn’t have time to move.”

From a commenter: “A lot of time Micah has now that he stopped his podcast 🙄”Ezoic

“Everyone loves Micah,” a social media user posted.

Via a different commenter: “He’s on his bye week and live sin Dallas. Why is this an issue?”

Said another: “Bye week plus he still has his house in Texas
