Parsons targeting mid-October return; Kraft tracking Week 1

Packers star edge rusher Micah Parsons expects to be on the field by the middle of October, while TE Tucker Kraft is tracking to be ready for Week 1, Ian Rapoport reported on NFL GameDay Kickoff.

The timeline reflects Green Bay's cautious approach with its marquee defender.

Kraft's availability for the opener would be a boost to the passing game.
