New Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons made his practice debut on the heels of an offseason-defining trade , but there is reportedly a level of uncertainty surrounding his status for Week 1. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter , the former Dallas Cowboys edge rusher has been dealing with an L4/L5 facet joint sprain in his back and may need to take an epidural injection ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Detroit Lions .
The Cowboys were well aware of Parsons' injury before they shipped him off to the Packers as he had missed training camp due to his recovery -- and because of his drawn-out contract negotiations. Schefter reports that Dallas prescribed him a five-day plan of prednisone to combat his back tightness and that the Cowboys placed him in a physical therapy program. Co
