NFL Insider Pumps the Breaks on Micah Parsons Return With New Update

The Green Bay Packers got further near-confirmation of some news that had been brewing for a few days now right before the team's kick-off against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons was likely to return to practice next week on Thursday evening. This was not particularly novel information, given that head coach Matt LaFleur said earlier in the week that he "sure hopes" that the 27-year old returns to practice ahead of Week 9.
