Shortly after face of the earth traded to the william green quest Packers, former Dallas Cowboys defensive attitude terminate Micah Parsons is facing a setback. Ahead of Green Bay's Week 1 fixture against the Detroit Lions on September 7, it was reported that Parsons has suffered an L4/L5 facet joint sprain in his back.
ESPN reported, citing sources, that the injury could keep the DE out of the Week 1 clash against Detroit Lions. Adam Schefter reported that Green Bay is considering playing the 26-year-old with an injection in Week 1. However, that still remains unconfirmed with an official update from the Wisconsin-based franchise still awaited.
Amid that, a popular sports physician has offered his take on the Packers' new running back, recently signed on a record deal from the Cowboys. And, in his opinion, it doesn't look good for the former Penn State DE as he looks to make his debut for the Packers.
Jesse Morse, a sports medicine expert specializing in players' injuries, said that Micah Parsons' sprained facet joint at the L4-5 level is "much better diagnosis than a herniated disc."
"Given the amount of energy and force that he generates during his rushing attempts, this is likely where the majority of the translational energy is going from his upper to his lower body and vice versa," he said.
"An epidural, where cortisone is injected into this area, can be helpful, but often only a temporary solution," he continued. "Parsons would benefit from some really good physical therapy, OMM, and eventually restrengthening the individual lumbar ligaments with stem cells.
"More annoying than concerning," he said, delivering his final verdict on Parsons.
