Pelissero: Micah Parsons (knee) to return in November?

Micah Parsons

GB Defensive End #1

Player Stats

Packers EDGE Micah Parsons (knee) isn’t expected to practice next week and could return in November, reports the Ringer’s Tom Pelissero.

Parsons is coming back from tearing his ACL late last season. The 27-year-old defensive end didn’t practice this week and isn’t expected to practice next week, according to Pelissero. Parsons hasn’t had any setbacks in his rehab, but still isn’t ready for the Packers to open the 21-day window for him to practice before he’s activated. Pelissero points out that it could be November before Parsons is ready for game action. Green Bay is 1-2 this year and 1-8 without Parsons in the lineup over the last two years (including playoffs).

The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports Micah Parsons (knee) is expected to practice next week.

If Parsons returns to practice next week, the Packers will have a 21-day window where he can practice before activating him to the 53-man roster. Pelissero also reported that Parsons’ most likely return date is in Week 11 against the Rams. Including the playoffs, Green Bay is 5-8 since Parsons tore his ACL last December.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said “there’s a chance” Micah Parsons (knee) practices next week.

When asked about Parsons’ chances of practicing next week, LaFleur said, “I sure hope so.” He followed that up with, “I’m saying there’s a chance.” Parsons opened the season on the PUP list after an ACL tear late last season. The Packers have a Thursday game for Week 8, leading to a mini-bye where Parsons’ door to practice is at least cracked open.

The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports Packers EDGE Micah Parsons (knee) still isn’t practicing.

The Packers play the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football on NBC and Peacock in Week 6, but Parsons still isn’t practicing. According to Pelissero, it’s unlikely the 27-year-old defensive end plays before Green Bay’s matchup with the Patriots in Week 9 at the earliest. The Packers’ defense has certainly struggled without Parsons, but they have enough offensive firepower to win shootouts, which only adds to the fantasy floor for Jordan Love and Green Bay’s skill players.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Micah Parsons (knee) will not practice this week.

Parsons is nearing a return, but the star pass-rusher isn’t ready to get on the field just yet. LaFleur did say that Parsons has not suffered any setbacks in his recovery, while adding that this is “just part of the process.” Parsons’ return window can be opened at any time, which would then give the Packers a 21-day window to ramp him up before activating him from IR.

Packers placed Micah Parsons (knee) on the reserve/PUP list.

This move was expected. Parsons himself said a few weeks ago that a Week 6 return was his “most optimistic” timeline. A spot on the reserve PUP list means Parsons must miss at least the first four months of the season. He is still recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in Week 15 of the 2025 season. Parsons should still be a force on the defensive front when he’s back, but that won’t happen until at least October.

Packers EDGE Micah Parsons said Week 6 is his “most optimistic” return date as of right now.

Interestingly, Week 6 is when the Packers play host to the Cowboys, Parsons’ former team. The star pass-rusher did note that he could also return later and that there is always the possibility of setbacks, but it sounds like the earliest we should expect to see him is Week 6. Parsons opened camp on the PUP list, which didn’t come as a surprise given the timing of his injury last season. It’s been widely believed that Parsons would miss the first few games of the season. If he were to open the year on the PUP list, he would be forced to sit out at least the first four games of the year.

Packers placed EDGE Micah Parsons (knee) on the active/PUP list.

Parsons is unlikely to return before Week 4, the question ahead of us appears to be if it’ll be Week 4 or Week 5. If it’s Week 5, Parsons can be stored on the reserve/PUP list ahead of the season. This timeline has been a consistent drum beat coming out of the Packers since March, so this placement comes as no surprise.

The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman considers it unlikely Micah Parsons (knee) returns before Week 4.

The Packers are famously conservative when it comes to injury recoveries, and Schneidman reports they have a hard and fast rule of “nine months without any football activity for players rehabbing major injuries.” We still wouldn’t be stunned if Parsons is a player who ends up breaking that supposed “rule,” but it would not be the first time fans were frustrated by the slow pace of a Packers rehabilitation. For his part, Parsons reported to training camp with a sunny social media post. If he is indeed going to miss regular season time, the first month feels like a good over/under.

GB Defensive Lineman #1

Packers EDGE Micah Parsons confirmed that he is likely to start the 2026 season on the Physically Unable to Perform List.

“The goal for me is to complete the season,” Parsons said Wednesday. “The goal has always been playoffs.” Parsons added that the team has a strict nine-month policy for ACL rehab for players with more than one tear and that he had an associated meniscus procedure in December. The updated timeline places Parsons back to full football activities some time in September, likely looking at October before he returns to the field for the Packers.

Speaking on ESPN’s Get Up, Adam Schefter said Micah Parsons (knee) is “a candidate to be placed on the PUP list” to start the season.

There’s still plenty of time for Parsons to rehab to be ready in time for Week 1, but Schefter said “the feeling within the organization has been that Parsons would miss the early part of the season” with a chance to still return fairly early on. Parsons suffered a torn ACL in Week 15 of last season, which makes being ready in time for the 2026 season a tall task. The star pass rusher totaled 12.5 sacks in the 14 games he appeared in last season and was still named a First-team All-Pro in his first season with the Pack.

Seahawks ruled out Rashid Shaheed (knee) for Week 8 against the Bears.

Shaheed reportedly avoided a major injury in the collision with teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the end zone in Week 7, an injury that will claim at least one game from the veteran speedster. There’s not really a ton of fantasy value behind Smith-Njigba in Seattle, although veteran Cooper Kupp could see a target or two trickle his way in Shaheed’s absence.

Zach Charbonnet (knee) is expected to be active for Week 8 against the Bears.

The team has yet to activate Charbonnet from injured reserve but removed him from the injury report Saturday, leaving only the procedural step in the way of his season debut. He likely returns to a limited role as the team manages his reps in his first game since tearing his ACL in 2025. Rookie Jadarian price is also expected to play after being removed from the injury report. He, too, will need to be activated from injured reserve.

Seahawks removed Jadarian Price (chest) from the injury report Saturday and he is expected to play in Week 8 against the Bears.

The team has yet to activate him from injured reserve, a procedural move that is expected to come before they take the field in Week 8 against the Bears on Monday Night Football. Zach Charbonnet is also expected to be activated from injured reserve, giving the team their top two backs for the first time this season. No word yet on an expected snap count for either, although Price would seem to be in line to serve as the top option in the backfield considering it will be Charbonnet’s season debut.

Broncos placed RB RJ Harvey (knee) on injured reserve.

Whoa, that escalated quickly. Harvey reportedly suffered a knee injury in practice this week that initially caused the Broncos to rule him out for Week 8, with the team then making the procedural move of placing him on injured reserve Saturday. Harvey will now miss the next four games, at minimum, as he rehabs the injury, leaving rookie Jonah Coleman and veteran J.K. Dobbins to handle primary backfield duties with Tyler Badie also on injured reserve. Coleman warrants weekly FLEX status, at minimum.

Chiefs placed CB L’Jarius Sneed (knee) on inured reserve.

That was somewhat unexpected. Sneed missed Wednesday’s practice for personal reasons and was limited Thursday and Friday. He was moved to injured reserve a day later. The Chiefs are now down their top two corners after Mansoor Delane was ruled out for Week 8, creating a much softer matchup for the Broncos on Sunday.

Howard gains clearance just in time to be charged with slowing an aggressive Pittsburgh pass rush, likely in line to handle his fair share of T.J. Watt on Sunday. There should be no reason for Howard to see a decline in snaps or performance after suffering a concussion in Week 7.
