Micah Parsons remains out of action, with Matt LaFleur indicating that the Green Bay Packers pass rusher is not close to returning to practice. Parsons continues to rehabilitate a torn ACL and meniscus injury he suffered against the Denver Broncos in December, and the head coach confirmed that he will be unavailable for the team’s next several games.
The Packers have yet to establish a firm return date for Parsons, but recent reporting offers some insight into his rehabilitation. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on X (formerly Twitter) that Green Bay does not anticipate the pass rusher practicing this week ahead of Sunday’s night matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. Although his comeback schedule remains uncertain, people familiar with the situation reportedly hope he can return to action later this month.
When will Micah Parsons return for the Packers?
“Packers are not anticipating that their standout pass rusher Micah Parsons will return to practice this week as Green Bay prepares for Sunday night’s game vs. the Dallas Cowboys, per sources. There still is uncertainty about exactly when Parsons will return from his knee injury, but the hope still remains it will be this month,” Schefter wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Parsons has shown encouraging signs during his rehabilitation, with his latest activity offering a glimpse of how far he has progressed. Matt Schneidman noted that the pass rusher was performing demanding running drills away from the main practice area.
The Packers star edge rusher is taking a measured approach to his recovery rather than forcing an early return, but his dedication throughout the process has encouraged the Packers. His eventual comeback could provide a major lift to Green Bay’s defense once he is cleared to play.
