Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons has been dealing with an L4/L5 facet joint sprain in his back and he may take an epidural injection before Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions if needed to help him play, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
Before trading Parsons last week, the Dallas Cowboys prescribed him a five-day plan of an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, a prednisone to help him recover from back tightness. They also had him on a physical therapy program.
Parsons has been practicing this week, and he is trying to play Sunday, although one source told Schefter it still is not certain if he will.
