Micah Parsons Gets Brutal Injury Update — Packers Superstar Set To Miss “Several Weeks To Start Season”

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

The Green Bay Packers have received some brutal injury news regarding Micah Parsons. 

The All-Pro pass rusher went down with a season-ending ACL tear in mid-December, prematurely closing out his first season with the NFC North.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team expects to be without Parsons for at least a few weeks to begin next season. The NFL insider was on ‘Get Up’ this Thursday, revealing that the former Dallas Cowboys star is likely to end up on the physically unable to perform list. 

“The feeling within the organization has been that Parsons would miss the early part of the season,” Schefter said. “He’ll be a candidate to be placed on the physically unable to perform list.” 

Previous reports had already suggested that Parsons would not recover from his injury in time to start the 2026 campaign.

Even so, Thursday’s update must have come as a huge blow from a fan perspective.

Packers To Take Time With Micah Parsons PUP Decision

The Packers looked to have it all together after acquiring Parsons in a trade ahead of last season. The term ended with a shocking collapse in the playoffs, as they lost to division rivals, the Chicago Bears, who overcame an 18-point deficit to win a thrilling Wild Card outing. 

Parsons signed a four-year deal worth $188 million last offseason, which guarantees him $136 million. Green Bay parted ways with two first-round draft picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to get the blockbuster trade over the line. 

The ex-Penn State standout led the Packers with 12.5 sacks in 14 games but saw his debut season cut short on December 14. 

The Packers will take their time before deciding whether to place the player on the PUP list. 

Schefter also had an update on Patrick Mahomes. 

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback suffered a torn ACL and LCL on the same day as Parsons. However, he has a “realistic chance” of being ready for Week 1, according to Schefter.
