As Micah Parsons gets his start with the Green Bay Packers, his first appearance with the team might be a little bit up in the air. Parsons has been dealing with a L4/L5 facet joint sprain in the vertebrae in his back, per multiple reports, and may need an epidural injection before the Packers' season opener next weekend.
Parsons has reportedly been prescribed an anti-inflammatory to reduce the tightness in his back, and have him on a physical therapy program, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The injury puts his availability for Week 1 into question, as Green Bay hosts the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
