Micah Parsons Fantasy Stats

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.

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest due to a knee injury. The superstar defensive lineman suffered this injury in the third quarter. This was a non-contact injury, and he needed assistance to walk off the field. Before exiting, Parsons tallied two tackles with one sack. For the remainder of the game, fantasy managers should expect Kingsley Enagbare and Lukas Van Ness to see an increase in snaps on the defensive line.

When the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers agreed to the blockbuster Micah Parsons trade this past summer, the Cowboys added a clause that essentially prevents the Packers from trading Parsons to the Philadelphia Eagles or any NFC East team. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, if the Packers trade Parsons to the Eagles in 2025 or 2026, the Packers would owe the Cowboys a first-round pick. The two teams applied the same condition to Kenny Clark, who was traded to Dallas as part of the deal and must stay out of the NFC North for the next two seasons. The clause was added due to Parsons' interest in returning to Pennsylvania to play for the Eagles. This specific trade condition initially flew under the radar, but opposing teams started to take notice when exploring the NFL's internal draft pick database ahead of the trade deadline. When the Cowboys traded multiple draft picks for Quinnen Williams at the deadline, they were prohibited from including their 2028 first-round pick in trade talks, as Dallas has to keep that selection in case they end up trading Clark. Similarly, the Packers would not have been allowed to include their 2028 first-round pick in trade talks.

The Green Bay Packers are listing All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (back) as questionable to play on Thursday Night Football in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders, according to Jason B. Hirschhorn of NFL.com. Parsons had been dealing with a back injury leading up to the first week of the regular season, but the 26-year-old managed to take the field for his Packers debut in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions, so we fully expect him to be active on Thursday evening. Parsons played 30 of the team's 67 defensive snaps on Sunday, was lined up all over the defensive line, and recorded his first sack in the fourth quarter. He might continue to have his snaps monitored as he manages a joint sprain, which will lower his fantasy ceiling in IDP leagues, but if Parsons is active, he should be started in fantasy lineups.

Green Bay Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons (back) is officially active for his team's Week 1 contest against the Detroit Lions, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Parsons is dealing with a back injury and may be on a limited snap count in his first game with Green Bay, but he will be on the field in some capacity. The All-Pro edge rusher could make things difficult for Lions quarterback Jared Goff and Detroit's passing game in Week 1.

Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons (back) is expected to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions, but his snaps will be limited. The three-time All-Pro has been managing a back injury that restricted his practice reps during his first week with Green Bay. Parsons was traded from the Dallas Cowboys just a week before the season opener, so a restricted workload is expected as he acclimates to the Packers' defense. He joins a pass rush that struggled in 2024, with Rashan Gary being the only player to record more than five sacks last season. Expect Parsons to be deployed primarily in obvious passing-down situations, where he can maximize his impact and do what he does best: pressure and sack the quarterback. His presence should immediately improve the Packers' pass-rushing effectiveness, even in limited snaps.

Green Bay Packers All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (back) was listed as a limited practice participant all week and is officially questionable to make his Packers debut in the Week 1 season opener this Sunday in a divisional clash against the Detroit Lions. The Packers sent two first-rounders and run-stopper Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys on Aug. 28 for Parsons in a blockbuster deal that makes them legitimate Super Bowl contenders, but the 26-year-old has been dealing with a back injury that could require an injection so that he can play this weekend. It's a good sign that he practiced all week, though, and Parsons is expected to play against Detroit. Parsons will be a bit more risky as a fantasy starter in IDP lineups if he's active, though, because Green Bay could manage his snap count.
