Micah Parsons is officially back at practice, kicking off his 21-day window to return from the physically unable to perform list. This is huge, even if he is just doing individual work right now, because he has been medically cleared for all activities. We are talking full-go here, folks, after a torn ACL sidelined him last season.
The Ramp Up From a Brutal ACL Tear
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur laid out the plan for Parsons, and it is all about easing him back in, even though the medical team gave him the green light for everything. LaFleur said, “I think he’s been cleared to go full-go in regards to what he’s doing out there. How they limit him and his ability, where it’s just individual. But I expect him to go when he’s out there. He’s been cleared for that. We’ll just take it one day at a time and hopefully he’ll be ready to go sooner than later.” You hear that? “Full-go.” It is just a matter of getting him game ready after nearly a year out.
Week 12: The Date Everyone Is Circling
The word from last weekend is that the Packers have their eyes locked on Week 12 against the Rams for Parsons’s grand return to game action. That game is set for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, which means it will be a standalone slot. Think about it: the entire football world is going to be watching Parsons step back onto the field for the first time since that devastating torn ACL. It is going to be appointment television, seeing how he looks after being cleared “full-go” and if he can immediately dominate like we all know he can.
So, while we wait for the 21-day window to close and for Parsons to be officially activated, get ready. Week 12 against the Rams is going to be must-see football.
