Green Bay Packers place Micah Parsons on reserve/PUP list
Green Bay Packers linebacker Micah Parsons is expected to miss the first four games of the 2026 NFL season after being placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Parsons is recovering from an ACL tear sustained during a Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos approximately eight months ago.
As the Packers finalized their 53-man roster, the team also moved Parsons from the active/physically unable to perform list to the reserve/PUP list. The team's quarterback room currently consists of Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor, and they are pending a physical to finalize a trade with the Steelers for running back Kaleb Johnson.
In light of Parsons' absence, discussions have surfaced regarding the potential acquisition of Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Josh Sweat to bolster the Packers' defensive line. Proposals suggest a trade involving a third-round draft pick to secure the veteran pass-rusher.
