Green Bay Packers superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons is facing a long road to recovery following his torn ACL.

The NFL’s offseason and preseason featured an ugly and contentious confrontation between Cowboys owner/G.M. Jerry Jones and former Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. The situation ended in the shocking trade to the Packers, and the sniping from both men continued for weeks thereafter.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, an MRI has now confirmed that Parsons did, in fact, tear his ACL in his left knee. He will miss the remainder of the 2025 season. “He faces a 9 month recovery at least,” Rapoport added, putting him on track for a potential mid-September return.
