(GREEN BAY PACKERS/247NEWSSOURCE) – The Packers’ best player on defense is feeling good about when he’ll be back in the lineup.
Micah Parsons said Tuesday that he thinks it’s very realistic he will be playing when Green Bay faces the Dallas Cowboys in Week Six at Lambeau Field.
.A little over 7 months from surgery , Parsons was asked what is he looking to cross off next?
Tucker Kraft returned early. Is he looking at something similar?
As for the Packers defense, Parson was asked if he has seen this much blitzing as he has from Jonathan Gannon’s defense in training camp?
Parsons is still recovering from a torn ACL/meniscus injury he sustained in Week 15 last season.
The 27-year-old was acquired by the Packers in 2025 after they sent Kenny Clark and a first round pick in the 2026 and 2027 drafts to Dallas.
LaFleur impressed: Speaking to the media after Tuesday’s practice, Packers coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse has been impressive.
LaFleur talked about the importance of first-team reps for Cisse.
And what are LaFleur’s early thoughts on the rookie class?
About the kicking game: After Trey Smack’s early struggles in the field goal department, LaFleur said that he is not wanting to make a big deal with Smack’s kicking struggles.
LaFleur said that there is a lot to the kicking operation they’re still working on.
So the question is how does he put pressure on Smack without any competition in camp?
