In a devastating blow to the Green Bay Packers, star defender Micah Parsons suffered a non-contact injury to his left knee during Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The injury, which has yet to be officially confirmed, has raised concerns that Parsons may have torn his ACL. Parsons, one of the league's top pass rushers this season, was forced to leave the game after grabbing at his knee in pain. While Packers head coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged the seriousness of the situation, he noted that further testing is needed to determine the full extent of the injury. If confirmed, the injury would likely rule Parsons out for the remainder of the 2025 season. According to medical experts, a torn ACL typically requires 9-12 months of recovery, which could also raise questions about his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign. As one of the team's key defenders, Parsons' absence would be a significant loss for the Packers. He has been a cornerstone of the team's defense since arriving before the season, consistently pressuring quarterbacks and anchoring the pass rush. The Packers are now waiting for official confirmation of the diagnosis and the extent of Parsons' injury. Until then, they remain in a holding pattern, unsure of how long they will be without their star defender.
