Now that all the trade talk is over, it’s time to get down to the business of football.
Now that Parsons has landed in Green Bay, so have his injury issues.
ESPN reports that Parsons does indeed have a sprained back that may keep him out of the Packers or may limit his play.
He is dealing with an L4/L5 facet joint sprain in his back, and he may receive an injection before Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions if needed to help him play, sources told Adam Schefter on Monday.
Before he was traded, the Cowboys’ training staff prescribed him a five-day course of prednisone, an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid to help him recover from back tightness. They also had him on a physical therapy program.’
Parsons did practice Monday, which is good news, and despite his injuries, his new Packer teammates are excited that he has arrived, according to former Penn State teammate Rasheed Walker.
“I think it upped our chances by a lot,” Walker said Monday. “We got a solid pass rush across the whole line. I don’t think no one’s gonna be able to throw the ball like that on us. It’s gonna open up opportunities for our DBs and our offense, so yeah, I feel like Micah’s gonna have a good presence on the field and it’s gonna really be advantageous to us.”
Both the Cowboys and Packers seem to be pleased with the outcome of the trade and are ready to move on from all of this.
