Packers fans anticipate a stronger defense as linebacker Micah Parsons is slated to practice this week, his first session since an ACL tear. The anticipated return follows reports by The New York Times that the team cleared him for activity, and comments from coach Matt LaFleur.
Yet the New England Patriots are projected to avoid matching up with him even if he suits up. Meanwhile, NFL.com notes quarterback Daniel Jones will start in Week 9, adding another storyline to the league’s week ahead.
