The Green Bay Packers and star linebacker Micah Parsons are targeting their Nov. 25 meeting with the Los Angeles Rams for his long-awaited return to the field, sources told ESPN's and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Parsons hasn't played since tearing his ACL and meniscus last December. He is set to practice next week and will continue to ramp up his rehab from there, according to Rapoport.
"At the end of the day, that's the medical (decision)," head coach Matt LaFleur said of Parsons' eventual return. "I'm itching (for) it, though."
Parsons registered 12.5 sacks in 14 games last season before his injury. The Packers acquired Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys prior to the 2025 season for a pair of first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark.
Green Bay currently sits at the bottom of the stacked NFC North at 5-3. The Packers defeated the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football and will return to action Nov. 8 against the New England Patriots.
