The pass rusher, out since tearing his ACL, is eyeing a season debut against the Rams on Thanksgiving Eve.
Micah Parsons is finally nearing the end of his rehab. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said the team's "intention" is for Parsons to practice this week for the first time since he tore his ACL, a step that would put him on track for his 2026 debut.
Reports suggest the most likely return date is Thanksgiving Eve against the Rams in November, though nothing is official until he's actually back on the field in pads. Getting a full practice week in will be the real test of where his knee stands.
The timing is notable because Green Bay hasn't exactly been struggling to get after the quarterback without him. The defense just turned in its best pass-rushing performance of the season, and the Packers currently lead the NFL in that department. Adding Parsons to a unit already generating consistent pressure is less about fixing a problem and more about stacking the deck further.
For now, the plan is simply to get him practicing and see how his body responds before committing to any specific date for his actual return to game action.
