It will be a big test for the Lions to get on the field without offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, but if there\u2019s anything the last two seasons have proved, there\u2019s nothing this team can\u2019t do. So, let\u2019s not get too worked up about it.<\/p>\n<p>The Detroit Lions take on the the\u00a0Green Bay Packers at Ford Field on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at 4:25 p.m. Eastern time. While the Packers have always been rivals, this game is going to be more intense than ever, because Green Bay just did a trade with the Dallas Cowboys for key defensive end Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys traded defensive end Micah Parsons in exchange for two first round picks from Green Bay and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. This was a massive move, and it\u2019s been all the discussion in the NFL as of late. Green Bay is paying Parsons in the form of a four-year, $188 million dollar extension. So, should the Lions be worried? The answer is no, according to Lions head coach Dan Campbell. He has some strong words for anyone who thinks Green Bay is going to wreck the Lions in Week 1.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dan Campbell on Micah Parsons Joining the Green Bay Packers<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking with the press on Monday, September 1, Campbell was asked about Parsons joining the Packers ahead of the team\u2019s game against them. He didn\u2019t flinch with his answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know what kind of player he is,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cHe\u2019s a really good player, but we\u2019ll have a plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just the words but the way Campbell said that they have a plan. It will be exciting to see what that plan entails.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons has been dealing with an injury that kept him out of practice before his trade to the Packers. That could be good news for the Lions, if he isn\u2019t ready for Week 1. But, now, ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter has given an interesting update about the edge rusher\u2019s injured back. Schefter said that Parsons is dealing with a sprain in his back that could require an epidural to play in the Packers\u2019 Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Injury Update on\u00a0Micah Parsons<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cBefore trading Parsons last week, the Cowboys prescribed him a five-day plan of an anti-Inflammatory corticosteroid, a prednisone to help him recover from back tightness,\u201d Schefter said in a post on X sent out on Monday, September 1. \u201cThey also had him on a physical therapy program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cParsons has been practicing this week and he is trying to play in Sunday\u2019s opener vs. the Lions, though one source said it still is uncertain if he will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This update from Schefter came just hours after some videos circulated of Parsons practicing with the Packers. So, maybe they had to try to do some damage control.<\/p>\n<p>With or without Parsons, Campbell is making it clear that his Detroit Lions are ready. It\u2019s going to be a massive moment when these two teams take the field in Week 1 in Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions take on the the\u00a0Green Bay Packers twice during the regular season, and Dan Campbell has some things to say about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31715,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
