• Packers' Micah Parsons: Could return from PUP list when eligible

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that Parsons (knee) could return from the PUP list when first eligible in Week 5, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. "We have a pretty good idea once we get out of that four-game window we're going to be pretty close," Gutekunst said. Though he'll miss time to begin the season, Parsons is progressing as expected in his recovery from a torn ACL in his left knee, which he sustained Dec. 14. Parsons had previously told Wood that the Packers' Week 6 game against the Cowboys was a "very realistic" target for his return to the field, and Gutekunst's comments suggest that the door is open for the star edge rusher to play as soon as Week 5 against the Bears. According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Gutekunst added that Parsons could be a candidate to resume practicing as soon as Week 2, when the Packers would first be able to open up his 21-day evaluation window.

• Packers' Micah Parsons: Officially on reserve/PUP list

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  The Packers moved Parsons (knee) from the active/PUP list to the reserve/PUP list Sunday, meaning he'll miss the first four games of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Parsons was lost for the 2025 season in Week 15 when he sustained a torn ACL in his left knee, but not before fulfilling expectations following his blockbuster arrival from Dallas prior to Week 1. Overall, he recorded 12.5 sacks in 14 regular-season contests, marking his fifth straight campaign to begin his career with at least 12.0 sacks. Based on comments made by Parsons to Ryan Wood of USA Today on Aug. 4, the pass rusher is aiming to return for Week 6, but with Sunday's transaction, his first possible return date is a Week 5 matchup with the Bears.

• Packers' Micah Parsons: Could be eyeing Week 6 return

  08/04/2026 • By RotoWire

  Parsons (knee) said Tuesday that playing Week 6 against the Cowboys is a very realistic goal, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Parsons remains on the active/PUP list for Green Bay and is a decent bet to open the regular season on reserve/PUP, which would cost the star pass rusher at least the first four games of the season. Holding him out until that Sunday Night Football clash against his former team would make a lot of sense after Parsons tore his ACL in Week 15 of last season.

• Packers' Micah Parsons: Unlikely to leave PUP during camp

  07/29/2026 • By RotoWire

  Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said Wednesday that it's "unlikely" Parsons (ACL) will be cleared to come off the active/PUP list during training camp, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Gutekunst didn't fully close the door on Parsons potentially returning to practice at some stage during camp, however, calling the star pass rusher a "little bit of a genetic freak," per Bill Huber of SI.com. That said, Green Bay has a definite history of exercising caution with recoveries related to ACL tears, and Parsons represents a tremendous investment for the team. If Parsons isn't cleared during camp and has to ultimately shift to the reserve/PUP list, he will be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season.

• Packers' Micah Parsons: May start on PUP list

  05/15/2026 • By RotoWire

  The Packers consider Parsons (ACL) a candidate to begin the 2026 regular season on the PUP list, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Parsons is reportedly expected to miss the first three to four games of the regular season as he works his way back from surgery undergone in late December to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Once activated, he would likely still need time to ramp back up to his usual full workload. With Rashan Gary having been dealt to Dallas in March, rookie fourth-rounder Dani Dennis-Sutton will help keep the pass-rushing corps steady until Parsons is 100 percent healthy. This latest update aligns with the recovery timelines that have consistently been attached to Parsons throughout the offseason.
