The Minnesota Vikings will face the Green Bay Packers in their regular season opener at U.S. Bank Stadium. Packers star edge rusher Micah Parsons will begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List, meaning he will not play in the season opener due to recovery from an ACL tear and other knee injuries. Parsons is expected to miss at least the first four games of the season, which includes the matchup against the Vikings. His absence is significant as he had an impactful season before his injury, and the Packers will need to adjust defensively without him.
