Micah Parsons won't practice this week, Packers don't rule out Week 8 return

Micah Parsons told reporters last week he wants everything perfect before stepping back onto the field after his torn ACL, and he will not be practicing this week. Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed on Monday that Parsons will not be formally activated from the PUP list for the upcoming game against the Lions, but left the door open for a possible return in Week 8 despite a short turnaround to a Thursday matchup with the Panthers.

LaFleur said the coaching staff can still work on getting Parsons ready on a compressed schedule, but the player must clear several hurdles first. Parsons emphasized he is avoiding any “overcompensation injury,” which makes a rushed return unlikely, and the team may instead aim to have him ready for a Week 9 game against the Patriots.
