Micah Parsons’ return tops 10 glaring questions facing Packers entering training camp

Key Points:

• The Green Bay Packers officially begin their 2024 training camp Wednesday at Ray Nitschke Field, with optimism tempered by the absence of star linebacker Micah Parsons, who is recovering from a torn ACL and expected to return around Week 5 or 6.
• Several other key players, including tight end Tucker Kraft, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, and right tackle Zach Tom, are expected to be ready for Week 1 after recovering from last season-ending injuries, with practice participation anticipated at camp.
• Legal issues surround running back Josh Jacobs, who remains under investigation for domestic abuse charges with no resolution yet, though he has practiced all offseason and received teammate support.
• Rookie sixth-round kicker Trey Smack faces pressure to stabilize the Packers’ kicking game following the release of veteran Brandon McManus, as the team continues its search for consistent special teams performance.
• The Packers’ success this season may hinge on the health and development of young players like running back MarShawn Lloyd, offensive lineman Jordan Morgan protecting quarterback Jordan Love, and defensive end Lukas Van Ness stepping up during Parsons’ absence.
