Micah Parson was recently traded by the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers, and it was the type of trade that shocked the league, other news that may have shocked the league (specifically the Packers) is that Parsons has been dealing with a back injury, which they must’ve known, but did they know that Parsons may need an injection to potentially play in Week 1?
For all the consternation surrounding Matthew Stafford’s back, shouldn’t observers be worried about Parsons? Are you telling me that Parsons will be able to bounce off offensive lineman, make the tackle and keep his back in good shape? I am going to guess that Parsons will actually be fine over the course of the season, but he may need a week or two to get into football shape (I can be wrong).
Either way, this is a storyline to follow as much as Stafford’s back is a storyline to follow. Any differences? Stafford is a quarterback while Parsons is a defensive monster, but the Packers just sent away two firsts, a stud defensive tackle and paid Parsons a gigantic sum of money. So yes, there are differences, but that doesn’t mean the Packers shouldn’t have real concerns.
Again, I think Parsons will be fine, I think Stafford will be fine, but what I think isn’t always right. These are stories to keep an eye on.

“GREEN BAY, Wis. — New Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons has been dealing with an L4/L5 facet joint sprain in his back and he may receive an injection before Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions if needed to help him play, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.
Before trading Parsons last week, the Dallas Cowboys prescribed him a five-day course of prednisone, an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid to help him recover from back tightness. They also had him on a physical therapy program.“
