ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Packers DE Micah Parsons has an L4/L5 facet joint sprain in his back and he might take an epidural injection before their season opener to help him play if needed.
Schefter adds Dallas had him on a five-day plan of anti-inflammatory corticosteroid and a physical therapy program to help him recover from the tightness before trading him.
He’s been practicing and is trying to play in the season opener but Schefter said it’s still uncertain if he will.
Parsons, 25, was the former No. 12 overall pick by the Cowboys in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Penn State. He played out the final year of a four-year, $17,079,792 rookie contract that included a $9,781,667 signing bonus.
Dallas exercised the fifth-year option for Parsons, and he’s slated to make $21.32 million guaranteed in 2025.
In 2024, Parsons appeared in 13 games for the Cowboys and recorded 43 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one pass deflection.
