Micah Parsons Fantasy Stats

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday that he expects All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) to open training camp in late July on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Nothing is official yet, but the 27-year-old pass-rusher most likely will not be ready for the start of training camp, and he's also a candidate to begin the 2026 regular season on the PUP list. Parsons will still be worth drafting in IDP fantasy drafts this fall, but he'll no longer be one of the first sack artists off the board in those formats due to the potential that he misses the first three or four weeks of the regular season. Not having Parsons early on this year will be a substantial downgrade for Green Bay's pass rush. After the Packers sent two first-rounders and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys last year for the three-time All-Pro, Parsons was as advertised, registering 12.5 sacks, 41 tackles (19 solo), 12 tackles for loss, 27 QB hits, and two forced fumbles in 14 games before tearing his ACL in December against the Denver Broncos. Despite missing the final three games of the year, Parsons finished as the No. 23 defensive lineman in IDP leagues.

NFL reporter Adam Schefter said on ESPN's Get Up that the Green Bay Packers expect All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) to miss the early part of the 2026 season while he recovers from the torn ACL that he suffered on Dec. 14 last year against the Denver Broncos. With that said, Parsons will be a candidate to be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin the regular season. Parsons could potentially miss the first three to four games this fall, but as Schefter points out, we are still around five months away from Week 1, so Parsons has plenty of time to beat his current timetable. Green Bay sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys to acquire Parsons before the start of last season. The 26-year-old made an immediate impact in his new digs, tallying 12.5 sacks and 41 tackles (19 solo) in 14 games before suffering his season-ending knee injury. The Packers' defense was not the same the rest of the way. Parsons' IDP fantasy stock will slip slightly this year because he might not be ready to go by Week 1, but he should still be considered a top-20 defensive lineman.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said on Sirius XM NFL Radio that All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) is expected to return "early in the season." Gutekunst also said that Parsons is "a little bit of a freak" and that he's "doing really well." Obviously, Parsons is a big part of the Packers' plan going forward on defense after they sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys for Parsons before the start of last season. The 26-year-old five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro selection was on pace to set a new career high in sacks in 2025 in his first year with Green Bay before tearing his left ACL late in December against the Denver Broncos. Parsons still managed to finish with 41 tackles (19 solo), 12.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 27 QB hits, and two forced fumbles in 14 games played. Because Parsons' injury occurred so late last season, fantasy managers in IDP formats should expect him to miss the start of the 2026 campaign. Still, the former 12th overall pick will be rostered in all IDP formats as a high-upside sack artist at defensive line.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said at the league meetings this week that "everything's good" with All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons' (knee) rehab from the torn ACL that he suffered in the Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos, according to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Parsons had surgery on his knee on Dec. 30, which was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Gutekunst would not put a timeline on when Parsons might be back for Green Bay. "No, we're really early in this," Gutekunst said. "Obviously, we invested quite a bit in him, so we will be very protective of that investment as we go forward." The Packers sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys for Parsons, who is a game-wrecking sack artist when he's at full strength. Parsons earned first-team All-Pro honors for the third time in 2025 and had 12.5 sacks and 79 QB pressures in 14 games before his knee injury. The 26-year-old will come at a discounted price in 2026 in IDP fantasy formats because of his left-knee injury and the fact that he's expected to miss at least the first three or four weeks of the 2026 regular season.

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reports that Green Bay Packers All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) is expected to miss the first three or four games of the 2026 season while finishing his ACL rehab. Parsons will most likely be "scratching and clawing" to play before then, but the Packers aren't going to rush the star defensive end back before he's ready. The 26-year-old will most likely be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the start of training camp at the end of July after he tore his ACL in the middle of December last year. Obviously, Parson's fantasy stock in IDP formats in 2026 will be affected by his injury, but he will still be worth stashing in those formats for his high-end upside once he returns. The former 12th overall pick in 2021 by the Dallas Cowboys out of Penn State has been a Pro Bowler in each of his five NFL seasons and has racked up a total of 65 sacks in 77 games. Before his injury last year in his first year with the Packers, Parsons had 12.5 sacks in 14 contests.

Green Bay Packers All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) said he knows a Week 1 return in 2026 is probably unrealistic, but he thinks he can return from a torn ACL within the first month of the season, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Parsons has an expected recovery time of nine months after having surgery to fix a torn ACL in his left knee at the end of December. The good news is that the 26-year-old defensive end suffered a clean tear of his ACL in the Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos, and he didn't sustain any further damage to other ligaments in his knee. Before his season-ending injury in his first year with the Packers, Parsons collected 41 tackles (19 solo), 12.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 14 games. Parsons' IDP stock will obviously be down in 2026 since he won't play a full season, but the three-time All-Pro will have the ability to be a game-changer once again as soon as he returns.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that a nine-month recovery is expected for Green Bay Packers star pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) after he underwent ACL surgery on his injured left knee on Monday. Parsons suffered the season-ending injury in the Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos when he came down awkwardly on his left knee while rushing the passer. The 26-year-old is expected to miss the beginning of the 2026 season, but all in all, it's good news that Parsons suffered a clean tear of his ACL and that no other ligaments were affected. Parsons will cost a little less in IDP fantasy football formats next year because of his injury, but he'll still be worth rostering as an elite defender. The five-time Pro Bowler was on his way to a new career-high in sacks before his injury, finishing with 12.5 sacks and 41 total tackles in 14 games in his first year in Green Bay. Parsons has at least 12 sacks in all five of his NFL campaigns.

Green Bay Packers standout pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) announced on his Instagram account on Monday that he's undergoing surgery on his torn ACL, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. "See y'all soon, love y'all," Parsons wrote. The 26-year-old All-Pro defensive end suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in the loss to the Denver Broncos on Dec. 14, ending his first season in Green Bay early. Given the timing of his injury, Parsons isn't expected to be ready for the start of the 2026 season, which will put pressure on the likes of Lukas Van Ness, Rashan Gary, and Kingsley Enagbare to step up for the Packers' defense early on next season. When fully healthy, Parsons, a five-time Pro Bowler, is one of the best pass-rushers in football. In his 14 games in 2025, he had 41 tackles (19 solo), 12.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 26 QB hits, and two forced fumbles in 14 games.

An MRI exam on Monday confirmed that Green Bay Packers star pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee) suffered a season-ending torn left ACL in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. It's a devastating injury for Parsons and the Packers as they battle to make the postseason in the final three weeks of the 2025 regular season. The 26-year-old was having another All-Pro campaign in his first year with the Packers, recording 41 tackles (19 solo), 12.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 26 QB hits, and two forced fumbles in 14 games. Parsons suffered the non-contact injury in the second half of Sunday's game in Denver while rushing quarterback Bo Nix. Even if Parsons recovers ahead of pace following knee surgery, he will most likely not be ready for the start of next season. Green Bay's defense won't be nearly as formidable down the stretch without its best pass-rusher.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn ACL and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season and potentially a part of the 2026 season. Parsons sustained this non-contact injury during their Week 15 loss to the Broncos. The Packers acquired Parsons from the Cowboys in a blockbuster deal in the offseason and eventually signed him to a massive four-year $188 million contract. Before exiting Sunday's game, Parsons tallied two tackles with one sack. Through the first 14 weeks of the season, Parsons tallied 12.5 sacks with 39 total tackles. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Lukas Van Nes to see a larger role on the defensive line.
