Losing one of the most impactful defenders in the NFL is going to make defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley's life a lot more difficult.

Packers safety Evan Williams suffered a sprained MCL on the same play Micah Parsons got hurt, adding another blow to Green Bay’s situation.

Parsons, who’d been thriving in his first season in Green Bay since being sent to the Packers prior to the season, suffered a torn ACL on Sunday and will undergo season-ending surgery on his left knee. It’s the first major injury of Parsons’ career.

The Green Bay Packers have to finish out the 2025 season without their most important defensive player, as star pass rusher Micah Parsons suffered a torn ACL during their Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos, according to NFL Media. He reportedly faces a nine-month recovery, at least.

From Packers DE Micah Parsons, who has a torn ACL: "I may be sidelined, but I am not defeated...I will rise again."

Even Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow admitted that he was surprised by the stunning trade that landed the Green Bay Packers star pass rusher Micah Parsons just before the start of the 2025 NFL season.

Griffin suffered a torn ACL and LCL at the end of the 2012 season, the same injuries that have ended Mahomes’s 2025 campaign.
