Overview
- Parsons said he is “flying” in rehab and expects a realistic Week 3–4 debut without opening the season on injured reserve.
- He described Week 1 as a stretch while targeting a first‑quarter 2026 return following his late‑season torn ACL.
- Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley predicted Parsons will come back even better and suggested a run at the single‑season sack record.
- A CBS Sports injury analyst warned that rebuilding lower‑body strength to withstand high‑level pass rushing will drive the actual timeline.
- Green Bay also expects tight end Tucker Kraft to be ready for Week 1 and defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt for training camp.
