Ex Packers returns to the Packers, but as a rival, sending a message to the Jordan Love

Green Bay, WI – For nearly a decade, Kenny Clark was a cornerstone of the Packers’ defensive line, a first-round pick who grew into a veteran leader at Lambeau Field. But this Sunday night, when the Green Bay Packers take the field against the Dallas Cowboys, Clark will be lining up on the other side — no longer a teammate, but an opponent.
The blockbuster trade that sent Micah Parsons to Green Bay stunned the league, but it also meant Clark would call Dallas home. Now, as he prepares to face the franchise that drafted him, the veteran defensive tackle acknowledges the emotional weight of the moment.
Clark addressed the matchup directly, sending a pointed message to his former quarterback, Jordan Love, and his ex-teammates: “This is the first time I've played alongside my teammates, but on the opposing side. Football is about loyalty to the team you're playing for. Right now, I'm a cowboy, and I'm playing for Dallas.”
The Cowboys desperately need Clark’s veteran presence as their defense ranks near the bottom of the league. Meanwhile, the Packers have surged with Parsons wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks. The storylines are overflowing: a star defender returning to Green Bay, a new era under Jordan Love, and an emotional reunion where loyalty is tested under the primetime lights.
“Jordan, you know I’ve seen your game up close for years. I respect the quarterback you’ve become, but don’t expect me to hold back. When we line up on Sunday night, I’m coming for you — that’s just the way this business works.”
When Clark lines up across from the Packers’ offensive line, all the years of camaraderie, practices, and playoff runs will fade away. For 60 minutes, it won’t be about the past — it will be about proving that in football, loyalty belongs to the team you fight for today.
