The Green Bay Packers aren’t taking Micah Parsons for granted. When Parsons made his Packers debut on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, the crowd erupted, raining down cheers on the three-time All-Pro.

Parsons’ first play for the Packers was a third-and-7 for the Lions. Despite being lined up against standout offensive lineman Penei Sewell , Parsons pressured Lions quarterback Jared Goff , forcing him to throw out wide, where other Packers defenders shut down the play.

Parsons isn’t playing every snap for the Packers on Sunday because he is still recovery from a back injury. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Packers were considering giving Parsons an injection before the game to help ease the pain of his L4/L5 facet joint sprain.

Parsons isn’t allowing the injury to prevent him from getting on the field. During his introductory press conference, Parsons downplayed the injury.

“Physically, I’m great,” Parsons said. “I think I can contribute a lot. I’m gonna team up with the doctors to create a plan. We already talked about how we can ramp things up and get me into a flow where they feel comfortable and I feel comfortable.

“But my plan is to be here. They didn’t give up what they gave up for me to sit on the sidelines and make this big of a risk and change for me to do that. So I’m finna give my all.”
