Micah Parsons moves closer to highly-anticipated return as coach Matt LaFleur gives encouraging update

The Green Bay Packers may be getting a massive boost soon.

Micah Parsons tore his ACL last December, delivering a crushing blow to the Packers' playoff hopes last season and dampening their pass rush this season, as he has begun the year on the reserve/physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Head coach Matt LaFleur indicated the star pass rusher could return to practice as early as next week.

"I'm saying there's a chance," LaFleur said when asked whether Parsons could begin practicing next week.
