“I may be sidelined, but I am not defeated. This injury is my greatest test—a moment God allowed to strengthen my testimony,” he wrote on X. “I believe He walks with me through this storm and chose me for this fight because He knew my heart could carry it.
“I’m deeply grateful to the Packers organization and my teammates for their unwavering support, love, and belief in me during this season. I trust His timing, His plan, and His purpose. I will rise again.”
Parsons suffered the injury as he tried to make an adjustment while running to try to tackle Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. A replay of the injury showed Parsons’ knee buckle and him go down in pain.

“I’m sickened,” he told The Associated Press on Sunday night.
The Packers fell to the Broncos 34-26 and were a half-game back of the Chicago Bears for the NFC North lead.
Green Bay acquired Parsons in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys right before the season started. The Packers and Parsons agreed to a four-year extension reportedly worth $186 million.
Parsons’ injury will certainly hamper the Packers’ Super Bowl hopes. Green Bay will have a crucial matchup against Chicago for first place on Saturday.
