The Green Bay Packers have been without Micah Parsons while he recovers from an ACL injury.
As a result, head coach Matt LaFleur stated on Tuesday that Parsons will not practice this week before the Bears game on Sunday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. LaFleur also said that while Parsons has made progress, there is no official timetable for his return.
Last December, Parsons suffered a season-ending ACL injury in a game against the Denver Broncos. Since then, Parsons has rehabilitated and has had no setbacks. Nevertheless, the Packers don't want to take any chances and are letting Parsons' recovery progress as gradually as possible.
Meanwhile, the Packers are off to a 2-2 start to the year without Parsons. Last weekend, they suffered a 16-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. A game that added to a growing list of Green Bay players getting injured.
