Packers Superstar Micah Parsons: I'm At Least 4 Months Away From Returning

Micah Parsons is “at least four months” from returning, so he’ll likely start 2026 on the PUP list and miss the first four games (Vikings, Jets, Falcons, Buccaneers) — with the possibility of missing Weeks 5–6 too.
He’s a game‑changer for Green Bay: an elite pass‑rusher (12+ sacks each season, three‑time All‑Pro), acquired via big trade and a $186M extension — Parsons says he’ll “hit the ground running” and be the best player on the field.
The Packers lost DC Jeff Hafley and Rashan Gary this offseason and had a middle‑of‑the‑road defense in 2025, so Parsons being out early would seriously cool their contender talk and affect key early matchups.
