The Green Bay Packers are anticipating the return of edge rusher Micah Parsons, who has been sidelined for an extended period. Parsons will have missed at least 10 games and 11 weeks of the 2026 season due to injury, significantly longer than initially expected. His return to the active roster is anticipated before Week 12, pointing towards a potential debut on November 25 against the Los Angeles Rams. This date, the day before Thanksgiving, aligns with the team's preparations for his comeback.
Parsons' journey back to the field included limited practice participation, but he was officially ruled out for the Week 10 game against the Minnesota Vikings. The team confirmed his absence on Friday, extending his wait until at least Week 12, following the team's bye week. As of Week 10, the Packers will continue to rely on other defensive players, including Barryn Sorrell and Dani Dennis-Sutton, with Lukas Van Ness also being a possibility depending on his injury status.
