Packers Get Bleak Update on Micah Parsons Amid Projected Return Date
Parsons is now likely to miss the Packers’ Week 6 target and could return in Week 8 or later as the team stays cautious.
- NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday that Green Bay Packers superstar Micah Parsons is not expected to return to practice next week. While there have been no setbacks, the five-time Pro Bowl selection may not play until November.
- Since suffering a torn ACL in Week 15 of the 2025 season, Parsons has remained on the physically unable to perform list. Although eligible for activation in Week 5, the team continues to manage his recovery timeline cautiously.
- Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst emphasized a careful approach regarding the $186 million investment, stating he wants to ensure Parsons is at his best for late-season goals. The organization has yet to open the 21-day practice window.
- With a 1-2 record, Green Bay sits at the bottom of the NFC North. The team hoped to integrate Parsons quickly to help save their season, but must now wait several more weeks for his participation.
- Should he return in November, the Packers face a challenging schedule, including road games against the New England Patriots on Nov. 8 and Los Angeles Rams on Thanksgiving Eve. A home matchup with the Minnesota Vikings completes the slate.
