Parsons Not Expected Back Until November

Despite no setbacks in his recovery from a torn ACL suffered in Week 15 of last season, Parsons is still less than 10 months post-injury. The Packers initially hoped he'd return soon after becoming eligible for the active roster, but the injury is taking longer to heal than anticipated.

The 1-2 Packers acquired Parsons in a blockbuster trade last season, hoping he would be the final piece for a Super Bowl run. Instead, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and now face questions about their playoff prospects this season with or without their star linebacker. sweetbonanza.qpon
