Overview
- The Packers opened Parsons’ 21‑day practice window and he took part in limited, individual drills on Wednesday as the team began a formal three‑week evaluation.
- Parsons confirmed he had full repairs to both the lateral and medial menisci in the same knee as his December ACL tear and said he was non‑weight‑bearing for about two months and on crutches for seven to eight weeks, stretching his recovery toward roughly 11 months.
- The team ruled Parsons out for Sunday’s game at New England and he acknowledged his conditioning is the worst of his career, so he likely cannot handle 50 to 60 snaps immediately upon return.
- Because the 21‑day window overlaps Green Bay’s Week 11 bye, the Packers could activate Parsons for Week 12 against the Rams on Thanksgiving Eve but Parsons declined to commit to that date and coaches say they will use the ramp‑up period to decide.
- Running back Chris Brooks also opened a 21‑day window after practicing and the Packers listed other players as limited or in concussion protocol, so medical caution and roster depth are driving the timetable for any activations.
