Micah Parsons' much-ballyhooed Green Bay Packers debut on Sunday is in question.
Parsons, who's been dealing with a back injury, has drawn a questionable designation for the Packers' season opener against the visiting Detroit Lions.
Parsons' back was an issue prior to the week's blockbuster trade with the Cowboys, though the seriousness of the ailment was debated. Parsons was listed as limited at Packers practice all this week.
Should Parsons play on Sunday, how limited he might be in his debut would also be in question.
The four-time Pro Bowler was a hold-in during Cowboys training camp. Thus, his back injury, getting ramped up and just how acclimated he is to defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley's operation could all potentially lessen his snaps against Detroit even if he's a go.
Parsons, who missed four games due to injury last season with the Cowboys, was traded to the Packers in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round draft picks and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark. He subsequently signed a $188 million extension with the Packers.
Dallas opened its season Thursday with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Packers, with or without Parsons, are looking for a better result in an NFC North showdown against the Lions that kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday on CBS.
Also questionable for Green Bay are three receivers (Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Savion Williams), defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell, cornerback Nate Hobbs and safety Zayne Anderson.
