An MRI confirmed Green Bay Packers star pass rusher Micah Parsons tore his left ACL. The non-contact injury occurred Sunday during the third quarter of Green Bay’s 34-26 loss at Denver, which snapped the Packers’ four-game winning streak. Parsons was chasing Broncos quarterback Bo Nix when he pulled up and fell to the ground and clutched his knee. Parsons had 12 ½ sacks in 14 games this year, becoming the first player to have at least 12 sacks in each of his first five NFL seasons since the league started measuring it as an official statistic in 1982. The Packers take on the Bears this week.
