Micah Parsons could miss Packers-Bears matchup in October

Green Bay Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons may not be available for the team's first game against the Chicago Bears on October 11, 2026. Parsons is recovering from an ACL injury and spoke recently about being five months post-surgery, indicating he likely won't practice until October. The Bears faced the Packers three times last season, winning both matchups without Parsons, who had seven quarterback pressures in their previous meeting prior to his injury. Coach Ben Johnson has stated that the team will focus on the game regardless of Parsons' status.
