What happened: Parsons said "scoreboards are so deceiving" while discussing Green Bay's Week 1 defeat to Minnesota. The comment came with the Packers opening the season without him in uniform.
Why it matters: His reaction lands in a bigger early-season conversation because Green Bay is still waiting on his four-game Reserve/PUP stint to run its course. An 0-1 start leaves little room for the Packers to let the division gap grow in September.
By the numbers: Parsons was placed on Reserve/PUP on Aug. 31, sidelining him for Green Bay's first four games. The Packers are 0-1 through Week 1.
What to watch: Watch how Green Bay responds in Week 2 and whether Parsons' absence keeps shaping the opening month.
