The Green Bay Packers expect superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons to return to practice next week, according to a report from NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport on Thursday. The Packers have been without their generational pass rusher for the entirety of the season thus far, as he continues to recover from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 15 of Green Bay's 2025 campaign. "Micah Parsons is expected to return to practice next week.
Obviously short week, was not able to do it this week. Next week he should be on the practice field if all goes well. And that is an excellent thing for the Green Bay Packers," Rapoport said.
"I expect caution as far as when he's actually on the playing field. They want to make sure everything around his knee is as strong as possible. "They are taking their time, but his return is coming." The Packers will take the field for a "Thursday Night Football" matchup against the Carolina Panthers later this evening.
Parsons' next opportunity to return to the field for in-game action is a Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots next Sunday. Green Bay faces off against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10 before taking their bye in Week 11. Thursday night's matchup against the Panthers will kick off at 8:15 p.m.
