What happened: Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons may not return to game action until November, per Jonathan Jones of The Athletic. Parsons has yet to play in the 2026 regular season while working back from the Reserve/PUP list.

Why it matters: Green Bay originally placed Parsons on Reserve/PUP on Aug. 31, which carried a mandatory four-game absence to open the year. Extending that absence into November keeps the Packers' defense without its premier edge rusher through the middle of the schedule.

What to watch: Green Bay must open Parsons' 21-day practice window before activating him to the 53-man roster for a November return.
