Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons is believed to have torn his ACL in Sunday’s loss to the Denver Broncos, NFL Networks insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Parsons suffered a non-contact knee injury in the third quarter while entering the blitz trying to hold back Bo Nix. Parsons then took an awkward step, immediately grabbed his knee and went down. He was helped into the locker room with his arm around a trainer.
Green Bay led 23-21 when Parsons left, though Denver went on a drive and scored a touchdown to make it 27-23 shortly after.
The four-time Pro Bowler had two tackles, a pass breakup and a forced fumble before his injury. He has helped transform the Packers defense this season with 12.5 sacks before Sunday’s contest.
