UPDATE: Parsons likely tore his ACL.
UPDATE: Parsons won’t return.
With 55 seconds left in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, Micah Parsons suffered a non-contact injury after attempting to rush the quarterback.
He was able to walk to the locker room, but did need some assistance.
The loss of Parsons is a huge blow for the Packers defense. The unit has the ninth-best pressure rate despite blitzing at the fifth-lowest rate, and much of that is due to the presence of Parsons, who has 12.5 sacks on the season.
Kingsley Enagbare would likely be the replacement for Parsons. Enagbare is 6-foot-4, 258 pounds and was selected in the fifth round of the 2022 draft. He has 2.0 sacks on the season with 30 tackles and four tackles for loss.
