Parsons Out: Packers Face Vikings Without Key Star
15 Nov
Summary
- Micah Parsons will not play against the Vikings due to injury.
- Several other key players are also listed as out or doubtful.
- Parsons is expected to return to play in Week 12.
The Green Bay Packers are facing significant injury challenges as they prepare to play the Minnesota Vikings. Star player Micah Parsons has been ruled out for the Week 10 matchup due to a torn ACL and meniscus injury sustained last season. Head coach Matt LaFleur noted that Parsons is progressing but lacks sufficient practice reps.
Beyond Parsons, the Packers have several other players sidelined. Running back Josh Jacobs (finger) and offensive lineman Sean Rhyan (ankle) are out. Tight end Josh Whyle is on injured reserve with a concussion, and linebacker Zaire Franklin is doubtful with a shin injury. Multiple players, including safeties Xavier McKinney and Javon Bullard, are listed as questionable.
Parsons sustained his ACL tear in December 2025 and has been gradually working back. He recently participated in two weeks of limited practice sessions. Despite his absence, Parsons expressed optimism about returning to play, anticipating flashes of his All-Pro form. According to reports, his expected return is for Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams.
