Packers Get Micah Parsons Update Before Matchup Against His Former Cowboys Team
The Green Bay Packers got an update on the return timeline of Micah Parsons before Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
Before the 2026 NFL season began, there was a glimmer of hope that Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons could play in the Week 6 primetime Sunday Night Football game against his former Dallas Cowboys teammates. However, as the Week 6 showdown looms closer, the likelihood of Parsons returning to action diminishes. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter recently reported that Parsons, who tore his ACL during Week 15 of the 2025 season, is not expected to participate in Packers practices this week.
The Packers are not expecting Micah Parsons to return to practice this week as they gear up for Sunday night's showdown versus the Dallas Cowboys, according to sources. While the timeline for Parsons' recovery remains uncertain, there is still hope that he may return this month, Schefter reported on Monday. The Packers, fresh off a convincing Week 5 victory over division rivals Chicago Bears with a 31-7 win at Lambeau Field, currently stand at 3-2 entering Sunday night's primetime clash against the Cowboys.
Micah Parsons will next have the chance to return to action in the Week 7 game against the Detroit Lions.
