Story summary

Micah Parsons, a former Cowboys linebacker now with the Packers, will miss his team's upcoming game against Dallas due to ongoing ACL rehabilitation. On Monday, Packers coach Matt LaFleur stated that although Parsons is making progress, he hasn't been medically cleared to return to play yet. LaFleur mentioned that there are extensive medical tests required before clearance and noted the need for recovery time after such a significant injury. Initially, there was hope that Parsons could potentially return by Week 6 this season, but his current status indicates further delay beyond the four-week window since being placed on the physically unable to perform list.
