Parsons links lack of camp to ACL tear, fueling camp-contract debate

Packers linebacker Micah Parsons said his ACL tear may have been influenced by accumulated wear from playing without training camp, a consequence of skipping camp last year while awaiting a Cowboys contract before being traded to Green Bay. The piece frames this within a broader discussion: while some view in-camp holdouts as risky, the smarter approach is to finalize deals before camp to ensure proper season preparation and transfer some injury risk to teams.
