Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Packers are not anticipating that their standout pass rusher Micah Parsons will return to practice this week as Green Bay prepares for Sunday night’s game vs. the Dallas Cowboys, per sources. There still is uncertainty about exactly when Parsons will return from his knee injury, but the hope still remains it will be this month.
There is still uncertainty about exactly when Parsons will return from his knee injury, though the hope remains it will be this month. That leaves Green Bay preparing for a marquee prime-time matchup without its top edge threat, continuing a stretch in which the Packers have managed his rehab carefully.
Parsons' absence stretches the pass-rush rotation, and it changes the math for a Cowboys offensive line that will be tested by Green Bay's front. The Packers have stayed competitive without him in recent weeks, but getting their star back before the second half of October looks increasingly like the operative timeline.
