Packers star Micah Parsons is expected to play during Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. However, Rapoport noted that the Packers will likely put a limit on his snaps on Sunday.
Parsons is reportedly dealing with a L4/LF5 facet joint sprain in his back, and he may receive an injection before the game against the Lions on Sunday, according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter. Before trading Parsons to the Packers last week, the Dallas Cowboys prescribed him a five-day course of prednisone, a corticosteroid to help him recover from back tightness.
