Micah Parsons' Green Bay Packers debut is suddenly in question as he deals with a facet joint sprain in his back, several reports said Monday.
The Packers acquired Parsons in a blockbuster deal with the Dallas Cowboys last Thursday and gave him the richest contract for a non-quarterback in NFL history, worth $47 million a year.
But before the deal, the Cowboys had placed Parsons on a five-day plan of a corticosteroid to help back inflammation and had him on a physical therapy program. Parsons may need an epidural injection to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions, according to reports from ESPN, NFL Network and The Athletic.
Monday was Parsons' first official day at Packers practice. He did not participate in practice with Dallas throughout training camp as he engineered a hold-in.
At his introductory press conference Friday, Parsons said, 'Physically, I'm great.'
A two-time All-Pro pass rusher and a Pro Bowl selection in each of his four seasons, Parsons has racked up 52.5 sacks through the first 63 games of his career. He was the 12th overall pick by the Cowboys in the 2021 draft but did not want to play 2025 on his fifth-year option, claiming that owner Jerry Jones tried to go around his agent.
