Micah Parsons Takes Aim at Lions as Packers Weigh Week 1 Usage

Fresh off a blockbuster trade to Green Bay, he is managing a reported L4/L5 facet sprain.

Overview

  • Green Bay acquired Parsons from Dallas for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, raising expectations for the pass rush.
  • Head coach Matt LaFleur said Parsons has looked limited in practice but praised his impact when on the field.
  • ESPN reports Parsons is dealing with an L4/L5 facet joint sprain; he is expected to play, though his snap count and availability have not been fully confirmed.
  • Parsons intensified the rivalry by saying he never liked Detroit and by dismissing trick plays as a scared tactic used by teams that cannot win straight up.
  • The Packers host the Lions on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field, where Detroit has won three straight and swept Green Bay last season.
