The Green Bay Packers have listed star pass rusher Micah Parsons as questionable for Thursday night’s matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Parsons (back) was listed as questionable in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, but he still played a limited number of snaps and recorded a sack for the Green Bay defense.

#Packers DE Micah Parsons (back), RT Zach Tom (oblique), LG Aaron Banks (ankle/groin) and CB Nate Hobbs (knee) are officially listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. #Commanders.

Parsons also was listed as questionable last week and played on a limited basis.

It’s likely that Parsons will suit up in this matchup – even though it’s a quick turnaround from the team’s Week 1 game. Green Bay is favored by three points in the latest odds at DraftKings, and the line has been hovering around three or 3.5 all week.

That’s a sign that Parsons is likely to suit up, as losing an impact player like the All-Pro pass rusher would potentially shift the line in favor of Washington.

However, the Packers may decide to limit the number of snaps Parsons plays for the second game in a row to ensure that he’s healthy for the rest of the 2025 season.

In Week 1 against Detroit, Parsons played just 30 snaps (44.78 percent), but he still made an impact. The newly-acquired star finished with a sack in the game and was constantly applying pressure on Jared Goff when he was on the field.

Green Bay is looking to move to 2-0 on Thursday, but it has a tough matchup against a mobile quarterback in Washington’s Jayden Daniels. Having Parsons on the field will be key for the Green Bay defense if it wants to keep Daniels in check.
