Micah Parsons provides promising injury update for Packers fans
Parsons said on his podcast that he is nearing a return, while coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers are still waiting for medical clearance.
- Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons is nearing a return from a torn ACL and MCL, though he will not play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football." Parsons remains on the physically unable to perform list.
- Parsons, 27, underwent surgery on Dec. 29 following a Week 15 injury last season. The Packers typically hold out players for at least nine months after ACL surgery, and he is now about nine months removed from the operation.

- While acknowledging he would play if this were the Super Bowl, Parsons emphasized long-term health over returning for a specific game. "I just need two healthy knees," he said, prioritizing full recovery.
