Packers pass rushing standout Micah Parsons hurts left knee on non-contact play against Broncos

On Sunday, Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons exited the Denver Broncos game with a non-contact left knee injury, walked to the locker room with assistance, and was later ruled out.
With 55 seconds left in the third quarter, Parsons broke through the offensive line chasing Broncos quarterback Bo Nix before pulling up awkwardly and grasping his left knee as trainers tended to him.
Parsons entered the game ranked fourth in the NFL with 12.5 sacks and forced an early fumble despite only two tackles, reinforcing his impact as the Defensive Player of the Month in October.
Earlier the Packers had already lost Christian Watson and Josh Whyle to injuries, and two plays after Parsons left to take a 27 lead, Denver scored a touchdown.
The trade and contract were meant to catapult Green Bay into Super Bowl contention, but losing an All-Pro with five consecutive 12-sack seasons and a record $188 million deal is a major setback.
