The Packers are aiming to have defensive end Micah Parsons available for their Week 12 matchup against the Rams, according to multiple reports. Parsons has not played since suffering a torn ACL last season.

The teams are scheduled to meet in Los Angeles on Wednesday, November 25, in what will be the NFL’s first game on Thanksgiving Eve. A return then would leave Parsons with seven regular-season games to play.

Head coach Matt LaFleur has said he hopes Parsons can return to practice. Resuming practice would start a 21-day period in which Parsons could work with the team before being activated, but that step remains conditional.

The Packers beat the Panthers on Thursday night. Their schedule before the targeted return includes games against the Patriots and Vikings, followed by a Week 11 bye.
