Replacing Micah Parsons? Impossible. It will take a collective effort from the entire Green Bay Packers pass rush to even partially fill the void.
The good news? Help is on the way. First, there is Brenton Cox, who won on a higher percentage of pass-rush snaps than any other Packers edge defender last season, according to Pro Football Focus. Cox stepped up big after Green Bay traded Preston Smith in 2024, and he is closing in on a return from injured reserve.
But he might not be alone. Remember the name Collin Oliver, the Packers' fifth-round rookie who just logged a full participation at practice and could make his NFL debut in the first game without Parsons.
