Micah Parsons returned to the practice field for the Green Bay Packers after an extended recovery period lasting 11 months due to a complete meniscus and ACL tear sustained last December. Parsons underwent surgery to repair his knee, requiring him to use crutches for 7-8 weeks, which contributed to delays in regaining strength and mobility. After failing several rehab tests, he is now starting individual and positional drills, with plans to progress to team activities next week. Though he feels great, Parsons noted he will not be immediately available for full practice loads.
