Micah Parsons, the Green Bay Packers’ All-Pro edge rusher, is unsure when he will be cleared to play in an NFL game this season. Parsons is on the physically unable to perform list as he works his way back from the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Return to the Field
Parsons underwent surgery on December 29 to repair the ACL and damage to the meniscus. Doctors gave him a strict nine-month “no football” directive, meaning the first time he could do anything football-related would be on September 29, after the Packers’ first two games of the regular season.
Parsons is expected to start the season on the PUP list, which means he can start practicing after missing two games but won’t be eligible to play until after missing four games. The Packers’ Week 5 game is on October 11 at home against the Chicago Bears.
