Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Micah Parsons is expected to make his team debut on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, according to multiple reports.

Parsons was listed as questionable with a back injury. Although he will be active, the All-Pro defender is expected to play a limited role against the Lions, primarily focusing on pass rushing.

The Packers made a huge splash acquiring the four-time Pro Bowl selection from the Dallas Cowboys on August 28th, immediately signing him to a four-year, $188 million contract extension.

Last season, Parsons had 12 sacks and two forced fumbles in 13 games, making his fourth Pro Bowl in as many seasons in the league.
