Micah Parsons made a seismic impact on the Green Bay Packers' defense four days ago despite playing on a pitch count. One pressure led to a Jared Goff interception, another resulted in a key third-down stop. He also made his first sack late in the fourth quarter.
The best is yet to come. Not only is Parsons officially active for Thursday Night Football, but he isn't coming alone.
The Packers will have two new defensive players joining the mix — cornerback Nate Hobbs, their big free-agent addition, and edge-rusher Barryn Sorrell, their fourth-round pick who starred in the preseason.
