The Packers’ worst Micah Parsons fears were realized Monday.
The superstar pass-rusher did, in fact, tear his ACL during Sunday’s 34-26 loss to the Broncos after going down in the third quarter with a non-contact injury to his left leg, the team announced.
“I may be sidelined, but I am not defeated. This injury is my greatest test—a moment God allowed to strengthen my testimony,” Parsons wrote on X. “I believe He walks with me through this storm and chose me for this fight because He knew my heart could carry it. I’m deeply grateful to the Packers organization and my teammates for their unwavering support, love, and belief in me during this season. I trust His timing, His plan, and His purpose. I will rise again.”

“It doesn’t look good,” head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game. “I’ll leave it at that.”
The loss of Parsons is a devastating blow to the Packers, who have their sights set on a Super Bowl run after acquiring the four-time Pro Bowler in a blockbuster trade with the Cowboys in August.

Parsons — whose relationship with the Cowboys and team owner Jerry Jones deteriorated over the summer amid testy contract negotiations — agreed to a four-year, $186 million contract extension with Green Bay.
Through 14 games this season, Parsons tallied 17 solo tackles and 12.5 sacks.
