The Green Bay Packers are not anticipating that star pass rusher Micah Parsons will return to practice this week as they prepare for Sunday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
There is still uncertainty about exactly when Parsons will return from his knee injury, but the hope remains that he will be back sometime this month, the sources said. Parsons is on the physically unable to perform list as he recovers from last season's torn ACL and meniscus. In August, he had said it was "realistic" that he could return for the Week 6 matchup against his former team.
The Packers acquired Parsons from the Cowboys in a blockbuster trade last year. With Parsons in the lineup, they went 9-3-1 in 2025, and he recorded 12.5 sacks and led the NFL with 64 quarterback pressures, according to ESPN Analytics. However, Green Bay did not win another game last season after his injury.
The Packers are 3-2 this season.
