The Green Bay Packers have a devastating update for a key pass rusher following their win over the Dallas Cowboys Sunday afternoon. The Packers’ hefty pass rush enabled Green Bay to get a jumpstart on the Cowboys en route to a 48-32 win. The Packers sacked quarterback Dak Prescott four times on the day.
However, the team lost outside linebacker Kingsley Enagbare during the second half. He was spotted limping to the locker room with a painful injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur foreshadowed lousy injury news for Enagbare when he said his “heart hurts” for the pass rusher during LaFleur’s postgame press conference Sunday evening.
The Green Bay Packers have a devastating update on Enagbare
According to Ian Rapoport with the NFL Network, the Packers believe Enagbare’s season is over due to a torn ACL.

Enagbare had a nice season for the Packers when he had the opportunity to get his rotational reps as a pass rusher this season. The 2022 fifth-round pick earned 27 solo tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble this season.
The Packers’ defense will need to rally without Enagbare next week when they take on Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers.
