The Green Bay Packers went all out in trying to acquire superstar edge rusher Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys. They gave up two first round draft picks and fan favorite Kenny Clark for the 26-year-old star.
However, just days before the 2025 season kicks off, Parsons has been dealt some troubling injury news.
Breaking: Packers’ Micah Parsons Receives Devastating Injury News Days After Massive Trade

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter:
Packers LB Micah Parsons has been dealing with an L4/L5 facet joint sprain in his back and he may take an epidural injection prior to Sunday’s game vs. the Lions if needed to help him play, per sources.
Before trading Parsons last week, the Cowboys prescribed him a five-day plan of an anti-Inflammatory corticosteroid, a prednisone to help him recover from back tightness. They also had him on a physical therapy program.
Parsons has been practicing this week and he is trying to play in Sunday’s opener vs. the Lions, though one source said it still is uncertain if he will.
Here is a look at Parsons’ career stats:
