Micah Parsons is now a Packer and there\u2019s plenty of excitement to see what he can do in Green Bay, but there are a couple of obstacles for him to navigate with just over a week to go before the start of the regular season. <\/p>\n
Parsons needs to pick up a new defense and he also hasn\u2019t taken part in practice at all this summer with the Cowboys. While it seems unlikely that the back tightness he was dealing with in Dallas will be part of the conversation now that his contract has been addressed, Parsons will still need to get up to a speed in a way that protects against a more severe injury. <\/p>\n
At a Friday press conference, Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst said Monday\u2019s practice would start the process of figuring out what Parsons might be able to do against the Lions. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll have a chance to get him out there Monday and see where he\u2019s at,\u201d Gutekunst said. \u201cCertainly I think we\u2019re hopeful he\u2019ll help us in some form or fashion in the opener. But I do think it\u2019s on us to be smart and make sure that he\u2019s ready to go.\u201d <\/p>\n
Parsons probably won\u2019t have a full workload on September 7, but it seems like a good bet that Parsons will find a way onto the grass at Lambeau Field in his first game as a member of the team. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Micah Parsons is now a Packer and there\u2019s plenty of excitement to see what he can do in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106796,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-106795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
