The 9-4 Green Bay Packers are on the verge of clinching a safe spot in the 2025 NFL postseason, but their defensive pillar will not be there to protect the team and to make the opponents sweat. Parsons suffered a non-contact knee injury during the Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Packers DE Micah Parsons has a "clean" ACL tear and has a "good chance" of being back for the start of the 2026 season.

What I might be willing to bet against is the prediction that Parsons’ defensive coordinator, Jeff Hafley, made about his superstar pass-rusher. Let’s take a look at that and much more in the final batch of Cheese Curds before Saturday’s massive game in Chicago.

Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons tore his ACL in Week 15. He led the Packers with 12.5 before the injury.

While Micah Parsons ' season-ending knee injury is a catastrophic blow for the Green Bay Packers, defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley feels that brighter days are ahead for both Green Bay and its talented pass rusher.

Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley has a bold prediction for Micah Parsons' return to the field in 2026.

The Green Bay Packers opened as three-point road favorites versus the Bears in Week 16. That number dropped to Packers -1.5, due in part to the Micah Parsons injury.
