# When will Micah Parsons return from his ACL injury?

Micah Parsons (now with the **Green Bay Packers** after being traded from Dallas) is recovering from a torn left ACL suffered on **December 14, 2025**, plus a meniscus procedure. Here's the timeline:

- **PUP list to start 2026:** He'll begin the season on the PUP list, which guarantees he misses at least the first four games.
- **Target return:** Mid-October is the target, with **Week 5 against the Bears** being the optimistic earliest return date — though he could need more time and may be limited even when activated.
- **Nine-month recovery:** As of early June 2026, he had about four months left on that timeline, putting the soonest possible return around late September/Week 4.

Bottom line: expect Parsons back sometime in **October**, but don't count on him for the first month of the season (from the [Micah Parsons page](https://chatffb.com/players/micah-parsons)).
