00:00Packers Micah Parsons believed to have suffered torn.
00:04ACL vs. Broncos, the Packers potentially lost far more than their four-game winning streak Sunday in Denver.
00:11Green Bay pass rusher, Micah Parsons is believed to have suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.
00:19NFL Network insider Ian Rappaport reported when asked postgame if Parsons had indeed torn his ACL.
00:27Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters, yeah, it doesn't look good. I'll leave it at that.
00:32Parsons suffered the non-contact knee injury at the tail end of the third quarter.
00:36Streaking in on a blitz and then trying to contain quarterback Bo Nix, Parsons then took an awkward step, immediately grabbed at his knee and went down.
00:46He was helped to the locker room with his arm around a trainer. Green Bay was leading.
00:5123-21 at the time of Parsons' departure, though Denver was driving.
00:55Two snaps later, the Broncos scored on a 23-yard touchdown strike to wide out Troy Franklin.
01:02They attempted and failed a two-point conversion, but opened up a 27-23 lead, they would not relinquish the rest of the way.
01:10Parsons had two tackles, a pass deflection and a forced fumble before getting hurt.
01:16He was just one of a number of injured Packers.
01:19The other major difference maker being Christian Watson, who suffered a chest injury earlier in the third quarter after losing.
01:26Out on a deep ball to Patrick Sertan, too, and getting landed on by the deep cornerback amid a brilliant interception.
01:35LaFleur said he did not have an update on.
01:37Watson, the Packers, lacked punch on both sides.
01:42Of the ball as key players dropped out of the contest, and in turn, lost a drop to the no.
01:497th seed in the NFC, they still own a playoff probability of 88%, but the road to clinching and doing something once they have just became far tougher.
01:59It's obviously tough, LaFleur said regarding Parsons' injury.
02:05We all know what type of player he is, and the impact he's had on our football team.
02:09And to lose somebody like that, it's tough.
02:11Nobody's going to feel sorry for us.
02:14We've got to find a way.
02:15Guys have got to rally around one another.
02:18Is who catapulted Green Bay into favorite territory for the Super Bowl win?
02:23The team traded for the four-time.
02:26Pro Bowl pass rusher in a mega deal with the Cowboys.
02:28At the end of August, he has been every bit as advertised.
02:33Parsons entered week 15 with a team leading 12.5 sacks and 26 quarterback hits.
02:40And his ability to find pressure, even when chipped or double teamed.
02:44Which has often created opportunities for everyone else on the defense.
02:48Parsons must now begin rehabbing for 2026.
02:51And the rest of the Packers must band together to accomplish without.
02:55Him what they originally set off to do together.
02:58The first step in doing so will be taking on the Bears.
03:01Who leapfrogged Green Bay back into the NFC North lead and are set to host the Packers on Saturday.
03:07December 20th, we've got a connected team, LeFleur said.
03:11I know how our guys will respond.
03:13We've got a great test coming up going to Chicago.
03:16A game that went down to the wire last time we played.
03:19Obviously they rolled today, so it's to go back on top of the division.
