Micah Parsons<\/a> revealed that he\u2019s been dealing with a back injury this offseason, and provided a hopeful update<\/a> on his status earlier this week. According to ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler<\/a>, those inside the Green Bay Packers organization expect him to return to the field sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n

\u201cMicah Parsons wants to play. So Monday, the Packers are gonna take the practice field. He will probably out there in some capacity,\u201d Fowler said on SportsCenter Sunday morning. \u201cI think they\u2019re gonna try to limit his reps. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re gonna be really smart with him, see what he can handle coming off that back injury \u2014 but that back injury is feeling a little bit better now, and they\u2019ll go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parsons said that he was feeling great physically during his introductory press conference with the Packers. He plans to meet with team doctors and work on piecing a recovery plan together and assured that he\u2019s working diligently on his return. It appears that plan may already be in place.<\/p>\n

That said, Parsons hasn\u2019t been active at all during fall camp with the Cowboys or the Packers. Although, Fowler revealed that isn\u2019t cause for concern. <\/p>\n

\u201cI do know that Parsons, when he was in Dallas, despite his hold in not practicing, he was doing two a days on his own,\u201d Fowler revealed. \u201cHe was running, he was lifting, he was a part of all the meetings the Cowboys coaches felt legitimately that he was getting himself ready to play. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s not like he\u2019s just been sitting around for a month. He is ready to go. They want to get him out there, they just see that he could be on a bit of a pitch count.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parsons said himself that Green Bay didn\u2019t \u201cgive up what they gave up\u201d for him to simply sit on the sidelines. The 26-year-old pass-rushing star expects to be on the field when the Packers open the season against the Detroit Lions at home on Sept. 7. <\/p>\n

For now, Parsons will be limited with the plan to continuously add to his workload as training camp wraps up. With one week left, it\u2019s unclear whether Parsons will actually be 100% by then. Still, it seems as though Parsons himself expects to be ready sooner rather than later. Fans would love to see him in a Packers uniform by Week 1. However, only time will tell if that\u2019s actually the case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Micah Parsons revealed that he\u2019s been dealing with a back injury this offseason, and provided a hopeful update…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331118,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,15747,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-331117","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-micah-parsons-18-harrisburg","10":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115123760659605481","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331117\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
