Overview
- Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said on SiriusXM NFL Radio he expects Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft to return early in the season.
- Parsons’ Week 15 ACL tear cut short an All-Pro debut in Green Bay that featured 12.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss and 27 quarterback hits.
- Kraft’s ACL tear in Week 9 halted a breakout pace after he logged 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games.
- Gutekunst said Kraft is ahead of schedule in rehab and described Parsons as healing unusually fast.
- Green Bay traded two first-round picks for Parsons and slid after the injuries, closing 2025 at 9-8-1 following a playoff loss to the Bears.
