Overview
- The Packers opened Parsons’ 21-day practice window on Wednesday and he practiced only in individual and positional drills during the first sessions.
- Parsons confirmed he had full repairs to both the medial and lateral menisci in addition to ACL surgery, which required 7–8 weeks non-weight-bearing and lengthened his rehab timeline.
- Parsons said his conditioning is the worst of his career and he does not expect to handle a full 50–60 snap workload right away, adding he expects flashes of elite play and some poor plays early.
- Green Bay plans to use much or all of the evaluation window and is targeting the Nov. 25 game vs. the Los Angeles Rams as a possible debut but has made no final activation decision.
- The decision carries roster and health tradeoffs because the team must either activate Parsons within 21 days or keep him on PUP for the season, and his phased return could materially affect the Packers’ late-season pass rush and playoff push.
