Micah Parsons' early season absence will test the Packers' pass-rush abilities

The Green Bay Packers have lost each of the four games they've played without Micah Parsons in the year since they acquired the All-Pro edge rusher

Dealing with multiple injuries Oliver is dealing with Achilles and calf injuries and is considered week-to-week, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Oliver must miss at least the first four games of the regular season on injured reserve before he is eligible to return to the Packers' active roster. This minimum timeframe appears to align well with the linebacker's injury, and the 2025 fifth-rounder should return from IR and suit up shortly after the four-game period ends.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined to open regular season Oliver (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Packers on Sunday with a designation to return, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

Impact Oliver recorded five total tackles during the preseason, but he appears to have picked up an undisclosed injury along the way. The 23-year-old will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the regular season while on IR. With Micah Parsons (knee) also sidelined to open the year, second-year pro Barryn Sorrell will have a chance to handle the lion's share of the snaps at strongside linebacker.

Activated from PUP list The Packers activated Oliver (hamstring) from the reserve/PUP list Monday.

Impact The rookie fifth-rounder has fully recovered from a hamstring injury that caused him to start the 2025 regular season on the PUP list. That puts Oliver on track to make his NFL debut against the Ravens on Saturday.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday Oliver (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Bears, Paul Bretl of the Wisconsin State Journal reports.

Impact Oliver opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list due to a hamstring injury. He was initially tagged as questionable for Saturday's game, but he has not progressed enough in his injury recovery to make his 2025 regular-season debut. Given his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 1, Oliver would have to be activated from injured reserve or else be forced to miss the rest of the 2025 campaign.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable for Week 16 Oliver (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's road game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Oliver still officially remains on the reserve/PUP list as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury he's dealt with since training camp. In order to play Saturday versus Chicago, the rookie fifth-round pick would have to be activated from the PUP list by Green Bay on Friday.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't make debut at Denver Oliver (hamstring) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Oliver will continue to sit out as he works to recover from the hamstring injury he's been nursing since training camp. His continued absence might mean more opportunities for fellow rookie Barryn Sorrell.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 14 Oliver (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Oliver has been dealing with the hamstring injury since training camp and was able to return to practice Monday. He officially logged three limited practices ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, but he will not be ready for his pro debut.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Practice window opened Oliver (hamstring) had his practice window opened Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Oliver has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during training camp, and the team will now have 21 days to activate him from the reserve/PUP list, or he'll remain sidelined for the rest of the year. The defensive end has yet to make his professional debut after being selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still working through injury Head coach Matt LaFleur relayed Wednesday that Oliver is still working through a hamstring injury and his ability to return from the reserve/PUP list is "up in the air," Rob Demovs...

Impact The rookie fifth-rounder opened training camp on the PUP list due to a hamstring injury, which has prevented him from participating in practices since. The injury is severe enough for Oliver to remain limited to off-field work, and there doesn't appear to be a clear timeline for him to make his NFL regular-season debut.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss at least four games Oliver (hamstring) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

Impact Oliver will be forced to miss at least four games to open the 2025 season as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury. The 22-year-old was expected to operate as a depth option on defense in his rookie campaign, so his early absence doesn't carry a significant impact.

AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Working through a hamstring injury Oliver did not participate in Thursday's training camp practice due to a hamstring injury, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact Oliver is competing for a depth defensive end spot on the Packers' 53-man roster, and he's missing out on valuable practice reps while working through his hamstring injury. The rookie fifth-rounder is unlikely to be available for Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets, but he could aim to suit up for the Packers' second exhibition game against the Colts on Aug. 16.

AUGUST 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on PUP list Oliver (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Friday, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Oliver was selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft despite suffering a foot injury during his final collegiate season. He participated in the combine, so this issue presumably isn't related, though that is still unclear at this point.
