Overview
- Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Parsons began practicing in individual drills on Wednesday, which officially starts the NFL's 21‑day window to move him off the PUP list.
- Green Bay plans a gradual progression from individual work to team drills and expects to use most of the 21‑day period before deciding on activation.
- The Packers and multiple league reporters are targeting the Thanksgiving‑Eve game on Nov. 25 against the Los Angeles Rams as a likely debut if Parsons’ rehab continues to progress.
- Parsons underwent reconstructive surgery for a torn ACL and meniscus on Dec. 29, 2025, and the meniscus repair lengthened his rehab, prompting the team’s medically driven caution.
- Parsons was a marquee offseason acquisition who had 12.5 sacks before the injury and his return could boost a defense that has performed well without him, while the 21‑day window forces a short, consequential roster decision.
