Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Saturday that Parsons is expected to begin practicing next week, starting with individual drills and progressing to team work if there are no setbacks.
- Green Bay and Parsons are targeting the Wednesday night game on Nov. 25 against the Los Angeles Rams as his season debut date, a plan that would come after the team’s Week 11 bye.
- Opening Parsons’ practice window would start the NFL’s 21‑day evaluation period during which the Packers must either activate him to the 53‑man roster or keep him on PUP for the season.
- Parsons suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in Week 15 and had surgery on Dec. 29, so a late‑November return would place him about 10–11 months post‑operation and close to a full year since the injury.
- The Packers have performed well without him, leading the league in sacks and takeaways, which lets the club prioritize a cautious, medically driven timeline amid public debate over the pace of his comeback.
