Micah Parsons' return to the field may be only days away. Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers intend to start practicing the All-Pro pass rusher this week, and the team is hopeful he can return to the practice field after last season's torn ACL.
Parsons has missed eight games, and a 21-day clock starts at his first practice

That first practice opens the 21-day window to bring him off the PUP list. If it's Wed., Nov. 4, he likely would debut no later than the Rams trip on the eve before Thanksgiving. A later start opens the door to Dec. 6 at the Saints. LaFleur said if he had to bet, it's more toward the longer end of that window.
