Recovery tests may clarify Micah Parsons’ Packers return timeline

James Palmer says Micah Parsons faces key tests in the next few days as he recovers from a torn ACL. Passing them could clarify when Green Bay opens his practice window; Parsons called a Week 6 return against Dallas “very realistic,” but it is not confirmed.

Parsons has been on the reserve/PUP list since August, guaranteeing he will miss at least Green Bay’s first four games. The Packers have emphasized a cautious approach to his recovery.
