What happened: Parsons has not had a setback in rehab, but he is not expected to practice next week and could be out until November. Green Bay already placed him on Reserve/PUP to sideline him for four games.

Why it matters: Parsons made 41 tackles and 12.5 sacks in 14 games for the Packers in 2025, which is too much disruption to replace by committee. If the return timeline is still this loose in October, Green Bay has not earned the benefit of the doubt on defense.
