Parsons is expected to play Week 1 for Green Bay against Detroit despite a facet joint back sprain that may require non-surgical care. The Cowboys-era talent now in Green Bay, combined with a four-year, $188 million extension, adds a high-ceiling edge presence, but the injury introduces fantasy risk that hinges on the official Wednesday injury report and a measured ramp-up.

Mon that Parsons practiced without apparent limitations, yet Green Bay will pace his return. If the back flares, expect reduced snap counts and a shift to other Packers pass-rushers, impacting Week 1 projections and DFS/season-long planning.
