NFL Week 9 injury report: Micah Parsons returns to Packers practice, Rams lose Jaylen Watson for season

The Green Bay Packers received encouraging news as Micah Parsons began his return from a torn ACL and meniscus injuries, entering a 21-day practice window with hopes of playing in the Thanksgiving game against the Los Angeles Rams. Coach Matt LaFleur emphasized Parsons’ dedication to recovery, noting his return would significantly bolster the team’s defense.

Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints saw rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, the 2026 eighth overall pick, clear hamstring issues and return to practice, potentially marking his NFL debut soon after a college-related delay. The Rams, however, faced a major setback as cornerback Jaylen Watson underwent season-ending shoulder surgery, ending his campaign after aggravating a previous dislocation.

The injury is a critical loss for Los Angeles, where Watson had been a standout performer before the surgery. Elsewhere, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens both dealt with quarterback and running back uncertainties heading into their matchup, with Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley ruled out for Baltimore due to injuries, forcing Joe Fagnano into his first NFL start.

Bhayshul Tuten’s ankle injury also cast doubt over his availability for the Jaguars, while Ravens defensive back Jaylinn Hawkins and cornerback Nate Wiggins remain questionable.
