The Green Bay Packers are holding their breath for one of their most important players, as pass rusher Micah Parsons went down with a non-contact knee injury during their Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The Packers have officially listed him as questionable to return.
On a first-and-10, Parsons fought his way to Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, but planted awkwardly with his left leg, and immediately went down holding his knee.
Check out what happened here:
Parsons remained on the turf for several moments as he was attended to by trainers. Players from both teams took knees around the star pass rusher — who was eventually able to get up and walk to the locker room with the medical staff.
Entering Sunday, Parsons had recorded 39 tackles, 12.5 sacks, 26 QB hits and a forced fumble this season. He became the first player since sacks became an official stat in 1982 to begin a career with five seasons of at least 12 sacks.
The Packers of course acquired Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys this offseason in exchange for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks. Once the trade was official, Green Bay gave Parsons the contract extension he was seeking — a four-year, $188 million deal.
This is a developing story.
