Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn had an interesting solution to dealing with Micah Parsons in Week 2. On Tuesday, he admitted that the linebacker was a threat on the field for his team.

"You don't let game wreckers wreck the game," Quinn said via NFL.com. "You've got to keep an eye on him. He got paid a lot of money for a reason."

When asked how they would deal with his presence in Week 2, Quinn had a humorous approach to the situation:

"Are you asking what I would do if I were coaching him? I'd sit him this week. Yeah, short week."

Micah Parsons spent four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. He played 63 games for the team while recording 256 tackles, 52.5 sacks, 63 tackles for loss and 112 quarterback hits. However, after a long negotiation process, Jerry Jones' team could not finalize a new deal with the linebackers.

On Aug. 1, Parsons requested a trade. He was then traded to the Green Bay Packers for DT Kenny Clark and two first-round picks. The four-time Pro Bowler agreed to a four-year deal worth $188 million, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history.

Parsons made his debut for the team during their 27-13 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 1. He made a sack in the game while playing 29 snaps on the field.

When talking about his relationship with the Commanders' coach, the four-time Pro Bowler said Quinn was like a "father-figure" to him.

"It's just like a father figure, uncle, however you want to put it," Parsons said via APNews.com. "That's my guy and we're going to go forever. We're in this for the long run and maybe our journeys might cross one day again."

Despite the excitement, Parsons is listed as questionable heading into Week 2 as he deals with a back issue. However, this does not rule out the possibility of him playing.

The Packers host the Commanders on Thursday at Lambeau Field. The game will be broadcast on Prime Video and NFL+ at 8:15 p.m. ET.
