The Packers officially listed Micah Parsons as questionable for Thursday night’s contest vs. the Commanders. Parsons has been dealing with a back issue for weeks now, which limited him in his Green Bay debut on Sunday.
The Packers may play Parsons in a limited capacity again Thursday night, although the game plan has not yet been shared. The back issue was cited as one reason Parsons sat out of Cowboys training camp while he was also trying to negotiate a new deal with Dallas. However, the Packers would never have traded for him if the back issue looked severe.
Parsons still made a major impact on his new defense when taking the field on Sunday vs. the Lions. In the fourth quarter, Parsons registered his first sack as a Packer, which was one of three logged by Green Bay.
The Packers traded for Parsons just a week before the season began after the star edge rusher spent nearly a month in a contract dispute with the Cowboys. Green Bay made Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history with a $47 million annual salary after completing the deal.
