The Green Bay Packers entered Week 15 looking to keep their winning streak alive and end the Denver Broncos’ undefeated run.
However, Green Bay has absorbed injuries to some of the team’s best players while trying to take down Denver. Among those injured in the game on the side of the Packers is superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons, who exited the contest in the second half with an apparent knee injury.
Replays showed that Parsons went down with a non-contact injury while trying to go after Broncos quarterback Bo Nix in the third quarter. The former Penn State Nittany Lions star immediately grabbed his knee in pain, indicating that he suffered something serious.
Fans react to Parsons’ injury in Broncos game
Green Bay has declared Parsons questionable to return, and while the exact nature of his injury remains a mystery, fans are fearing that he may have suffered a season-ending lower-body injury.
“Micah Parsons suffered a non-contact left knee injury that appeared to occur during a sack attempt. I don’t like the angle his last step. Significant concerns for an ACL tear there. Let’s hope it’s just a mild sprain + bone bruise.,” said a fan on X.
Another one said: “Micah Parsons just tore his ACL. Prayers for him that it’s not…”
From a commenter: “By video, Packers Micah Parsons appeared to suffer a torn left ACL.”
“Micah Parsons tore his ACL. Teammates can take a deep breath in the locker room now.,” a social media user posted.
Via a different commenter: “Left knee buckles and falls into valgus. Primary concern is an ACL tear. Really hoping that I’m wrong..”
Still, there is hope that Parsons did not suffer such a devastating injury, especially with Green Bay in position to make the NFL playoffs.
Before he exited the game, the 26-year-old Parsons had two total tackles and a pass defended with zero sacks and no quarterback hits either.
