Edge rusher Micah Parsons advanced from individual and positional drills in his return to the practice field last week to participating during 11-on-11 periods this week, but the All-Pro is still at least 10 days away from making his 2026 debut for the Green Bay Packers.
Parsons will not play on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Packers officially ruled out Parsons, who remains on the PUP list, on the final injury report of Week 10.
Parsons opened his 21-day practice window on Wednesday, Nov. 4. He is slowly ramping up during practice, giving him time to get physically ready after missing almost 11 months of football. Parsons tore his ACL and damaged his meniscus on Dec. 14 and had surgery to repair both injuries in late December of last
year.
Coach Matt LaFleur said Parsons "looks great" at practice but needs to bank more reps on the practice field before he's ready to return.
Parsons will miss his 10th consecutive game to start the 2026 season and 14th consecutive game overall dating back to last season and including the playoffs. The Packers lost four straight games to end last season and started 1-2 in 2026, but LaFleur's team has won five of the last six games.
Parsons' 21-day practice window perfectly coincides with the Packers facing the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday, Nov. 25. The Packers have a bye in Week 11 but return to face the Rams on Thanksgiving Eve to start Week 12.
With a Packers win over the Vikings on Sunday, Parsons would make his 2026 debut for an ascending team entering the stretch run of the season in a strong position in the playoff race and with a legitimate chance to win the NFC North.
