Micah Parsons Expected Back in 2026 After Torn ACL; Packers Seek Edge Rusher Support

Micah Parsons, whose acquisition made the Packers' defense "a terror," is expected to return in 2026 after suffering a torn ACL in Week 15 that significantly impacted the team's playoff hopes. Parsons accounted for 32.8% of Green Bay's pressures, ranking fifth in the league. The team is now looking to acquire a "wingman" to complement him, as neither Rashan Gary nor Lukas Van Ness emerged as a reliable second edge rusher, highlighting a key offseason need for the Packers.
