Packers Get Bad News on Parsons ACL Tear: He Won’t Be Back Until October

The linebacker could return in time for a Week 6 game against his old team, the Cowboys. Last season, Green Bay’s defense suffered without him.

The Green Bay Packers’ landing of linebacker Micah Parsons in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys was the splash of the 2025 season.

Parsons dealt with injuries and played just 14 regular season games, and he missed the playoffs. He looked promising in his appearances; however, with 12.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.
