Parsons' Recovery: Packers Cautious After ACL Surgery

0:00On March 30th, the Packer season went south fast when Micah Parsons tore his ACL just 40 snaps into their week 15 clash with the Broncos. That loss kicked off a five-game skid, ending with a wild car playoff defeat to the Bears and crushing their playoff hopes. Parsons, a 26-year-old star, got surgery on December 30th from Dr. Neil L.A. Trayke and has been rehabbing in Dallas ever since. The team sent head athletic trainer Nate Weir down to Texas recently to check his progress and everything looks solid so far. General manager Brian Gutekunst shared an update from the NFL owner's meetings, saying trainers reported back positively with daily check-ins ongoing. He called Parsons an exceptional athlete but held off on any return timeline since his still early days. They traded big with the Cowboys for him and locked in a fat contract because he delivered all for 12.5 sacks, 79 pressures over, 14 games, and a third straight first team all pro-Nod.
