Signed a four-year, $186 million contract with the Packers in August of 2025.
Targeting mid-October return
Parsons (knee) said Wednesday that the Packers have a firm nine-month rehab rule for players recovering from ACL tears, making mid-October of 2026 his tentative return date, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Parsons underwent surgery to repair a torn left ACL on Dec. 29 of the 2025 season, and he also revealed Wednesday that he had an additional procedure to "clean up" his meniscus. Given the star pass rusher's importance for not only the 2026 campaign, but also Green Bay's long-term plans, it's no surprise to see the Packers take every precaution with his recovery. Parsons will likely be placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp and remain sidelined during the early portion of the regular season. Until Parsons is back on the field, Brenton Cox and rookie fourth-round pick Dani Dennis-Sutton will be candidates for expanded workloads alongside Lukas Van Ness.

Parsons entered training camp patiently waiting for Jerry Jones to finally sit down and hammer out a massive contract extension, but there's some question that he'll be on the field Week 1 considering he has yet to practice and the two sides haven't made inroads on negotiations. The 26-year-old is arguably the most dangerous quarterback hunter in the league, recording at least 12.0 sacks in all four of his NFL seasons. Parsons will face a bit of a headwind from his new scheme, as defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus hasn't generally overseen dominant pass rushes, but Parsons' elite athleticism and talent are more than enough for him to make an impact in any defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Also had meniscus procedure
Parsons revealed Wednesday the ACL surgery he had in January also included a repair of his meniscus, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The elite edge rusher just passed the five-month mark of his surgery, and Parsons stated Wednesday he won't be cleared for a return to practice until he's nine months removed from the procedure. That would make late September his earliest possible return to the field, and Demovsky notes the Packers likely won't allow Parsons to play in a game until he's put in multiple weeks of practice without setbacks.
