The Packers fear Edge Micah Parsons tore his left ACL in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He left in the second half with a non-contact injury to the knee. He's headed for a Monday MRI to confirm the diagnosis.
HC Matt LaFleur, via NFL Network's Tom Pelissero: "It doesn't look good. I'll leave it at that."
History tells us the MRI will probably confirm the injury and end Parsons' season. That takes arguably(?) the best player out of Green Bay's defense.
The Packers look droppable as a fantasy defense ahead of next week's rematch with the Bears and a Week 17 home date with Baltimore.
The timing of Parsons' injury could threaten the start of his 2026 season, which stands just about nine months away.
We should learn more about the specifics of Parsons' injury, his surgery date, and the return timeline this week.
Fortunately, the 26-year-old should still be on the front end of his prime, based on our aging-curve research.
So keep him stashed on your dynasty rosters, and we'll see whether we can start Parsons early in 2026.
Kingsley Enagbare and Lukas Van Ness appear likely to get the biggest playing-time boosts with Parsons out the rest of this season.
Enagbare logged a QB hit against the Broncos on Sunday, his fifth straight game with a hit.
He'll be no more than a low-level IDP candidate, though, with 11.5 total sacks through nearly four NFL seasons.
