Packers Get Major Update on Micah Parsons' Return Timeline
The Green Bay Packers may need to wait longer than expected for the return of superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons.
The Green Bay Packers face an uncertain timeline for the return of their star defensive player Micah Parsons, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Parsons suffered a torn ACL during Week 15 of the 2025 season, and while his recovery seems to be progressing without issues, the initial projection of a return as early as Week 5 may need to be delayed.
Pelissero reports that Parsons could be cleared to return to practice as early as Week 5, but a game appearance might not be until November. The Packers' first game in November is scheduled for Week 9 against the New England Patriots on Nov. 8, followed by a Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The team will then take a break with a Week 11 bye before facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Week 4 game on the upcoming Sunday.
