Green Bay Packers add Micah Robinson to practice squad ahead of Week 1

The Green Bay Packers have added Micah Robinson to the practice squad ahead of Week 1, the franchise announced. They recently released him to get the roster down to 53 players by Tuesday’s deadline, but he’ll now be back on the practice squad.

Green Bay selected Robinson in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Tulane, where he earned All-American Athletic Conference honors in 2024. He started 12 out of 14 games played, totaling 34 tackles and two interceptions – including a pick-six. Robinson started his college career at Furman before joining the Green Wave for his final year of eligibility.

Robinson’s addition to the practice squad came after a round of roster cuts ahead of the deadline. Of course, the most notable roster move came Thursday when the Packers made a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys to acquire Micah Parsons, sending a shockwave across the NFL with Week 1 quickly approaching.

The Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. All the while, the former Penn State star got the lucrative contract he desired. He is set to sign a four-year deal worth $188 million, including $136 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports. He will also get $120 million at signing.

Parsons had been seeking a new contract with the Cowboys that would likely make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL – which his deal with the Packers did. However, the pass-rush market shifted multiple times as Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt became the first $40 million-per-year edge rushers. That meant the price kept climbing for Parsons as he neared the end of his rookie deal.

However, former NFL GM and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum provided a blunt assessment of the trade. He ripped Jerry Jones and the Cowboys for not getting more for the star pass-rusher in his prime, which they could have done if a trade happened months ago.

“If Dallas had made the decision in March to trade Micah Parsons, the compensation would’ve been significantly higher because more teams would’ve had the time, cap space to offer more to Dallas,” Tannenbaum wrote on X. “It’s virtually unheard of to have a 26 year old pass rusher in the prime of his career available in a trade.”
