Green Bay Packers Pass Rusher Micah Parsons Is Preparing to Return to the NFL Field As He Recovers From the ACL Tear That Ended His 2025

While no exact return date has been revealed, the three-time First Team All-Pro expects to be back and better than ever in his second campaign with Green Bay. "The anger, the frustration, the things that I'm going to have to let out because of how long it's been since I played … that's what people should really worry about, Parsons said via the team's official website. "Like, how great is Micah going to be when he gets back?

Not about when I get back. Parsons recently said it's "realistic" he could return before the Packers' Week 6 Sunday Night Football matchup against his former Dallas Cowboys team, but he wouldn't commit to a target date. "We're right where we should be, Parsons said.

"As a training staff and myself, we're excited and happy where I'm at and just excited to keep working. The Packers open their 2026 regular season with a Week 1 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 13.
