Overview
- Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Monday that Micah Parsons is not ready to return to team practice and will miss the upcoming Sunday night game versus the Cowboys.
- Multiple outlets reported Monday that Green Bay does not expect Parsons to practice this week while the organization continues a cautious rehab from a December ACL tear with meniscus repair.
- The club has not opened the NFL 21-day practice window that would let Parsons resume team practice and give the Packers three weeks to decide on activating him.
- National insiders offer different near-term timelines with ESPN’s Adam Schefter saying the team still hopes for an October return and Tom Pelissero projecting a possible November timeline.
- Parsons’ uncertain availability compounds season-ending losses to Javon Hargrave and Edgerrin Cooper and could leave the Packers' pass rush shorthanded for key upcoming games.
