Packers defensive end Micah Parsons leaves game with a knee injury
Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons exited the third quarter of the Broncos game with a knee injury.
Green Bay Packers star edge rusher Micah Parsons exited Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos with a non-contact left knee injury.
Parsons went to the locker room with assistance.
He was initially questionable to return but later ruled out.
The Packers already lost wide receiver Christian Watson and tight end Josh Whyle to game-ending injuries earlier. Offensive lineman Zach Tom and safety Evan Williams also suffered injuries in the game.

The injury occurred as the Broncos were driving with 55 seconds left in the third quarter.
On a first down from the Packers’ 29-yard line, Parsons had just broke through the offensive line as he often does. But as he went toward Broncos quarterback Bo Nix he came up awkwardly and then grabbed his left knee.

The Packers acquired Parsons in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys a week before the start of the season.
Parsons entered the game ranked fourth in the NFL with 12.5 sacks. He was the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Month in October.
He has been a game wrecker for a Packers defense that is ranked among the best in the NFL.
