Packers' Micah Parsons: Could return from PUP list when eligible
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that Micah 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
The Green Bay Packers moved Micah 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
Micah 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
Green Bay Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said Wednesday that it's "unlikely" Micah 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: Placed on active/PUP list
The Green Bay Packers placed Micah Parsons (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.The team's "nine-month rule" about ACL injuries means Parsons will not see action until mid-October at the earliest. The move to the active/PUP list was expected, and Parsons will continue to work on rehabbing as Lukas Van Ness, Barryn Sorrell and rookie fourth-rounder Dani Dennis-Sutton take on more of the load off the edge at the beginning of the 2026 regular season.

Packers' Micah Parsons: Expected to land on PUP list
Though Micah Parsons (knee) wasn't among the Green Bay players placed on the active/PUP list Monday, it is expected that he will be as the week progresses, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.Parsons is recovering from a left ACL tear that he suffered last December, and given the timing of the injury, Demovsky suggests that the star pass rusher is unlikely to play before October. In his absence, look for the likes of Lukas Van Ness and Barryn Sorrell to be leaned on more heavily out of the gate this season.

Packers' Micah Parsons: Targeting mid-October return
Micah Parsons (knee) said Wednesday that the Green Bay Packers have a firm nine-month rehab rule for players recovering from ACL tears, making mid-October of 2026 his tentative return date, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.Parsons underwent surgery to repair a torn left ACL on Dec. 29 of the 2025 season, and he also revealed Wednesday that he had an additional procedure to "clean up" his meniscus. Given the star pass rusher's importance for not only the 2026 campaign, but also Green Bay's long-term plans, it's no surprise to see the Packers take every precaution with his recovery. Parsons will likely be placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp and remain sidelined during the early portion of the regular season. Until Parsons is back on the field, Brenton Cox and rookie fourth-round pick Dani Dennis-Sutton will be candidates for expanded workloads alongside Lukas Van Ness.

Packers' Micah Parsons: Not expected to be ready for camp
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Parson (ACL) is expected to open training camp on the PUP list, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.LaFleur said no decision has been officially made yet, but it would be unsurprising for Micah Parsons to miss the start of camp given Adam Schefter of ESPN's mid-May report that the team expects the star pass rusher begin the regular season itself on the PUP list. Until such time as Parsons is back in the starting lineup, Brenton Cox and rookie fourth-rounder Dani Dennis-Sutton will figure to handle increased roles in Green Bay's pass rush alongside Lukas Van Ness. Meanwhile, LaFleur offered optimism that Tucker Kraft (ACL), who underwent surgery roughly one month prior to Parsons, will be available to kick off training camp.

Packers' Micah Parsons: May start on PUP list
The Green Bay Packers consider Micah 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.

Packers' Micah Parsons: Likely facing multi-game absence
Micah Parsons (knee) is projected to miss the first three or four weeks of the regular season as he recovers from a torn ACL, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.Parsons underwent surgery shortly before the calendar flipped to 2026 to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. The recovery process typically takes around nine months, so Parsons still has a chance to be available by the time the regular season kicks off in September, but a multi-game absence is the likeliest scenario at this point.
