""I may be sidelined, but I am not defeated," Parsons wrote Monday on X. "This injury is my greatest test-a moment God allowed to strengthen my testimony. 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.""
"Parsons spent his first four seasons with the Cowboys but requested a trade during a contract dispute. The Packers acquired him on Aug. 28, sending Dallas their first-round picks for 2026 and 2027 as well as veteran defensive lineman Kenny Clark. He finishes the season with 12.5 sacks. Parsons was the second major NFL star to tear an ACL on Sunday afternoon. Earlier in the day, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered the same injury to the same knee."
An MRI confirmed Micah Parsons tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a non-contact play against the Denver Broncos and will miss the remainder of the season. Parsons was chasing Broncos quarterback Bo Nix when he suddenly pulled up and fell, and coach Matt LaFleur indicated the injury "doesn't look good." Parsons posted on X expressing faith and gratitude and saying he will rise again. The Packers acquired Parsons from the Cowboys on Aug. 28 in a trade that sent future first-round picks and Kenny Clark to Dallas. Parsons finished the season with 12.5 sacks. Patrick Mahomes suffered a similar ACL injury the same day.
