Overview

  • Parsons is officially listed as questionable for Sunday against the Lions, with multiple outlets reporting he is expected to be active but not carry a full workload.
  • He has an L4/L5 facet‑joint sprain and was a limited participant in practice all week as the Packers ramp his conditioning and playbook integration.
  • Usage is expected to center on pass‑rush snaps with a gradual ramp‑up, according to NFL Network and ESPN reporting.
  • Green Bay acquired Parsons from Dallas for two future first‑round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, then signed him to a four‑year, $188 million extension.
  • Reporting indicates several teams probed a deal with the Cowboys, and the Packers had previously explored trading for Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson before landing Parsons.
