Parsons (knee) said Tuesday that playing Week 6 against the Cowboys is a very realistic goal, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Parsons remains on the active/PUP list for Green Bay and is a decent bet to open the regular season on reserve/PUP, which would cost the star pass rusher at least the first four games of the season. Holding him out until that Sunday Night Football clash against his former team would make a lot of sense after Parsons tore his ACL in Week 15 of last season.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said Wednesday that it's "unlikely" Parsons (ACL) will be cleared to come off the active/PUP list during training camp, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Gutekunst didn't fully close the door on Parsons potentially returning to practice at some stage during camp, however, calling the star pass rusher a "little bit of a genetic freak," per Bill Huber of SI.com. That said, Green Bay has a definite history of exercising caution with recoveries related to ACL tears, and Parsons represents a tremendous investment for the team. If Parsons isn't cleared during camp and has to ultimately shift to the reserve/PUP list, he will be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season.

The Packers placed Parsons (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. The team's "nine-month rule" about ACL injuries means Parsons will not see action until mid-October at the earliest. The move to the active/PUP list was expected, and Parsons will continue to work on rehabbing as Lukas Van Ness, Barryn Sorrell and rookie fourth-rounder Dani Dennis-Sutton take on more of the load off the edge at the beginning of the 2026 regular season.

The Packers consider Parsons (ACL) a candidate to begin the 2026 regular season on the PUP list, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Parsons is reportedly expected to miss the first three to four games of the regular season as he works his way back from surgery undergone in late December to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Once activated, he would likely still need time to ramp back up to his usual full workload. With Rashan Gary having been dealt to Dallas in March, rookie fourth-rounder Dani Dennis-Sutton will help keep the pass-rushing corps steady until Parsons is 100 percent healthy. This latest update aligns with the recovery timelines that have consistently been attached to Parsons throughout the offseason.

Parsons (knee) is projected to miss the first three or four weeks of the regular season as he recovers from a torn ACL, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Parsons underwent surgery shortly before the calendar flipped to 2026 to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. The recovery process typically takes around nine months, so Parsons still has a chance to be available by the time the regular season kicks off in September, but a multi-game absence is the likeliest scenario at this point.
