  "account": "GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Micah Parsons is returning to practice with the Green Bay Packers as he nears a comeback from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that forced him out since mid-December. The All-Pro edge rusher, who was a key defensive weapon for the Packers last season, is expected to return to the field in 21 days, giving the team a significant boost.\n\nPackers coach Matt LaFleur noted that Parsons has put in a lot of effort to get back, and his addition will be a much-needed enhancement to their roster. Parsons, acquired from the Dallas Cowboys before the 2025 season, signed a lucrative four-year, $188 million contract with $136 million guaranteed.\n\nLaFleur praised Parsons' impact, highlighting his dominance in both pass and run defense. Despite Parsons' absence, the Packers managed a 9-3-1 record, leading the Broncos when he was injured. However, they failed to secure another win afterward. This season, the team has maintained a respectable 2.8 sacks per game, tying for seventh in the NFL.",
