Micah Parsons has been working with Green Bay Packers' edge rushers Barryn Sorrell and Collin Oliver as they prepare for the upcoming season. Parsons, currently recovering from a torn ACL, believes strongly in Lukas Van Ness, who is expected to step up as the primary pass rusher in Parsons' absence. Sorrell and Oliver, both rookies last season, combined for limited snaps but are eager to improve under Parsons' guidance. The Packers are optimistic about the development of their young defense as the new season approaches, likely without Parsons until at least Week 5.
