Overview

  • Parsons confirmed the procedure went well with a social post saying, "Today went amazing!!! LFG!!" after surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles, per ESPN.
  • Ian Rapoport reported the injury was a clean ACL tear and cited an estimated nine-month rehabilitation timeline, leaving Week 1 of 2026 uncertain.
  • Head coach Matt LaFleur said Parsons is in great spirits and already ahead of schedule in early recovery, according to remarks relayed by USA Today’s Ryan Wood.
  • Since Parsons went down in Week 15, Green Bay has lost three straight and is locked into the NFC’s No. 7 seed, starting the postseason on the road.
  • Before the injury, the trade acquisition led the Packers’ pass rush with 12.5 sacks and an NFL-high pressure total, and recent analysis shows a sharp drop in later‑down pass defense without him.
