Micah Parsons Nears Return to Practice to Boost Green Bay Packers Defense

Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons is inching closer to a return as head coach Matt LaFleur expressed hope for a Week 9 practice return. Parsons has not played since suffering a torn ACL and meniscus in Week 15 on Dec. 14, 2025. While comparing his extended rehab to Patrick Mahomes, Parsons emphasized fixing underlying mechanics before returning. Upon his return, Parsons is expected to transform Green Bay's defense into a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
