Having already been eliminated from playoff contention, the Minnesota Vikings aren't playing for much more than pride at this point in the NFL calendar. However, the club just got a late-season boost it didn't need at the expense of perhaps their most heated division rival, the Green Bay Packers.
An MRI confirmed that Packers superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons suffered a torn ACL in their 34-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. He faces "at least" a nine-month recovery, meaning his 2025 campaign is officially over.
Losing Parsons has been described as perhaps the most catastrophic blow the Packers have suffered in over a decade.
