Packers coach Matt LaFleur said team\u2019s health is good ahead of playoffs<\/p>\n

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur expects a lot of the key players, including Jordan Love, to be ready to face the Bears in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Micah Parsons isn’t wasting time in attacking his rehab. And he’s approaching it just like he would attack through an offensive line.<\/p>\n

With a heavy dose of determination.<\/p>\n

Eight days after having surgery to repair his torn ACL<\/a>, the Green Bay Packers<\/a>‘ star edge rusher posted on his Instagram account a video that shows he’s already on the road to recovery.<\/p>\n

And in the caption he included his mindset: “One week out! Let\u2019s make the crazy look normal.”<\/p>\n

Parsons, with a big bandage over his left knee, added in the comments of the video that the NFL reposted on its X account that he’s getting “stronger!”<\/p>\n

Indeed.<\/p>\n

In the video, Parsons was going through a full rotation on a bike.<\/p>\n

It’s the latest update from Parsons since he suffered a torn ACL<\/a> in the Packers’ Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos<\/a> on Dec. 14. He sustained the noncontact injury while trying to chase down quarterback Bo Nix in the third quarter of the game.<\/p>\n

Parsons had surgery<\/a> 15 days later.<\/p>\n

Before the injury, Parsons, acquired by the Packers in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> in late August, was on his way to another All-Pro season.<\/p>\n

During the season, Parsons became the first player in NFL history to have at least 12 sacks in the first five seasons of a career<\/a>. He finished with 12.5 sacks and was the team’s lone Pro Bowl representative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Parsons begins the early stages of his rehab, the Packers are beginning their playoff journey with a matchup against the Chicago Bears on Saturday, Jan. 10<\/a>.<\/p>\n
