Micah Parsons' Green Bay Packers debut is suddenly in question as he deals with a facet joint sprain in his back, several reports said Monday.
The Packers acquired Parsons in a blockbuster deal with the Dallas Cowboys last Thursday and gave him the richest contract for a non-quarterback in NFL history, worth $47 million a year.
