Micah Parsons revealed that he’s been dealing with a back injury this offseason, and provided a hopeful update on his status earlier this week. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, those inside the Green Bay Packers organization expect him to return to the field sooner rather than later.

“Micah Parsons wants to play. So Monday, the Packers are gonna take the practice field. He will probably out there in some capacity,” Fowler said on SportsCenter Sunday morning. “I think they’re gonna try to limit his reps.

“They’re gonna be really smart with him, see what he can handle coming off that back injury — but that back injury is feeling a little bit better now, and they’ll go from there.”

Parsons said that he was feeling great physically during his introductory press conference with the Packers. He plans to meet with team doctors and work on piecing a recovery plan together and assured that he’s working diligently on his return. It appears that plan may already be in place.

That said, Parsons hasn’t been active at all during fall camp with the Cowboys or the Packers. Although, Fowler revealed that isn’t cause for concern.
