Tests confirmed Green Bay Packers linebacker Micah Parsons tore his ACL, according to multiple reports.
Parsons posted a message on social media vowing to ‘rise again’ from the injury.
The Dallas Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers in August.
The Green Bay Packers’ worst fears came true Monday, Dec. 15, with tests revealing Micah Parsons tore his ACL, according to multiple reports.
Parsons posted a message on social media saying ‘I may be sidelined, but I am not defeated.’
‘This injury is my greatest test—a moment God allowed to strengthen my testimony,’ the 2021 Defensive Rookie of the Year wrote. ‘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.’
Despite leaving the filed under his own power in an eventual Packers’ 34-26 loss to the Denver Broncos, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters he wasn’t optimistic.
‘It doesn’t look good, I’ll leave it at that,’ he said postgame.
The injury will knock Parsons out for the rest of the season and Green Bay’s expected postseason run. Whether he will be ready for the start of the 2026 season depends on his recovery timeline.
The Dallas Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers in August, and the Penn State product promptly signed a four-year, $188 million extension with the team.
Parsons had 12.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 2025.
