Bears: Packers defense remains dangerous even without Micah Parsons

Bears coach Ben Johnson has seen the Packers defense without Micah Parsons.

So has quarterback Caleb Williams.

Both have a sense, then, of what their rival will look like Saturday without the star edge rusher, who tore his ACL Sunday against the Broncos and is out for the season. Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley was calling plays last season when Johnson was the Lions’ offensive coordinator and Williams the Bears’ rookie quarterback.

“Just because one player goes down, that doesn’t mean that this is going to change a whole lot for them,” Johnson said Tuesday.
