Newly-minted Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons<\/a> is \u201cquestionable\u201d to play in Sunday\u2019s season-opener against the rival Detroit Lions according to the team\u2019s latest injury report released Friday afternoon<\/a>. Parsons is still working through a back issue that plagued him throughout the preseason.<\/p>\n

Parsons is reportedly dealing with a L4\/LF5 facet joint sprain in his back, and he may receive an injection before the game against the Lions on Sunday, according to\u00a0ESPN insider Adam Schefter<\/a>. Before trading Parsons to the Packers last week, the Dallas Cowboys prescribed him a five-day course of prednisone, a corticosteroid to help him recover from back tightness.<\/p>\n

Joining Parsons among the Packers\u2019 \u201cquestionable\u201d list include starting cornerback Nate Hobbs<\/a> (knee); receivers Jayden Reed<\/a> (foot), Dontayvion Wicks<\/a> (calf) and Savion Williams<\/a> (hamstring); and defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell<\/a> (knee) after all were limited in Friday\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, fifth-year Packers starting quarterback Jordan Love<\/a> (thumb), who has been wearing a brace around his left thumb following a recent ligament procedure, was cleared to play after three straight days of full participation in practice this week. <\/p>\n

The Lions have already ruled out tackle Jamarco Jones (ankle), linebacker Trevor Nowaske (elbow) and running back Sione Vaki (hamstring), while starting tackle Taylor Decker\u2018s status Sunday remains up in the air after not participating in Friday\u2019s practice with an undisclosed ailment.<\/p>\n
