Micah Parsons: Everything you need to know

Parsons (knee) is projected to miss the first three or four weeks of the regular season as he recovers from a torn ACL, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Parsons underwent surgery shortly before the calendar flipped to 2026 to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. The recovery process typically takes around nine months, so Parsons still has a chance to be available by the time the regular season kicks off in September, but a multi-game absence is the likeliest scenario at this point.

Parsons underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee Monday and is facing a ninth-month recovery period, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Rapoport relays that Parsons sustained a clear tear of the ACL in his left knee and that there was no other ligament damage, which will help with the All-Pro pass rusher's time to recovery. The timeline means Parsons likely will miss the opening portion of next season and is a candidate to start it on injured reserve. He sustained the injury Week 15 against the Broncos and finished his first regular season with the Packers with 41 tackles (19 solo), including 12.5 sacks, one pass defense and two forced fumbles across 14 games.

Parsons (knee) announced via his personal social media account Monday that he is undergoing surgery to repair his torn left ACL, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Parsons is expected to miss time early in the 2026 regular season due to the timing of the left ACL tear he suffered Dec. 14, but per a prior report from Demovsky, the star pass rusher could realistically be back in action by Week 4. In any case, with Parsons already on IR, Green Bay will need to rely on a combination of Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness and Kingsley Enagbare to provide pressure against opposing quarterbacks for the remainder of the 2025 campaign.
