Green Bay Packers superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys ahead of the 2025 season, suffered a torn ACL late in the year and is working to return early in the 2026 season. Parsons has provided a new update on his recovery process, showing himself physically working out his injured knee.

Why it matters

Parsons was a dominant force in his first season with the Packers, and his return will be crucial for the team's Super Bowl aspirations in 2026. The Packers gave up significant assets to acquire Parsons, and his recovery will be closely watched by the team and its fans.

The details

Parsons played in 14 games for the Packers in 2025, recording 41 total tackles, 12.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and a defended pass. However, he suffered the season-ending ACL tear in a tough matchup against the Denver Broncos. While a Week 1 return in 2026 seems unlikely, Parsons is targeting a return around Week 4.

  • Parsons suffered the torn ACL late in the 2025 NFL season.
  • Parsons is targeting a return around Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season.
