The Story in 60 Seconds

Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons is not expected to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Parsons remains sidelined on the physically unable to perform list while rehabilitating a torn ACL and meniscus suffered in December 2025. While team officials still hope he can return at some point this month, his continued absence from practice makes it unlikely he will play against his former team.

Parsons joined Green Bay in a 2025 trade from Dallas and is under contract through 2029. Reporter Wendell Ferreira notes the Packers are exercising extreme caution with his recovery timeline before opening his 21-day practice window. For Dallas, Parsons' expected absence relieves pressure on an offensive line looking to bounce back after a difficult outing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
