Micah Parsons on Reserve/PUP to start the season
Micah Parsons, LB, Green Bay Packers, is officially on the Reserve/physically unable to perform list, ruling him out for the first four games of the season. Adam Schefter reported the move, and the research confirms the Packers made it official on July 28.
Parsons is recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus damage he suffered last December against the Denver Broncos. The Reserve/PUP designation means he cannot return until Week 5 at the earliest.
What does this mean for your roster?
In IDP formats, Parsons is undraftable in the early rounds if your league locks rosters before Week 5. Even after he is eligible to return, there is no guarantee he comes back immediately. Do not rely on him as a starter for the first month of the season. Plan around his absence and identify a streaming option at linebacker for at least the first four weeks.
