“I am deeply grateful to the Packers organization and my teammates for their unwavering support, love and belief in me this season. I trust His timing, His plan and His purpose. I will rise again.”
Parsons suffered the injury while trying to make an adjustment while running to try to tackle Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. A replay of the injury showed Parsons’ knee brace and he went down in pain.

Parsons’ injury will certainly hamper the Packers’ Super Bowl hopes. Green Bay will have a crucial game against Chicago for first place on Saturday.
