Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons departed Sunday's road game against the Denver Broncos with a non-contact left knee injury, which is now feared to be an ACL injury.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged the severity of the injury following the Packers' 34-26 loss to the Denver Broncos, saying, 'It doesn't look good. I'll leave it at that.'
Parsons collapsed in a heap and clutched his knee after attempting to take down Broncos quarterback Bo Nix in the final minute of the third quarter. The two-time All-Pro walked to the locker room with the help of medical personnel. The Packers quickly announced he was questionable to return before downgrading him to out during the fourth quarter.
The Denver loss dealt a blow to the Packers' playoff hopes, dropping Green Bay down to the current No. 7 (and final) playoff seed, and a continued absence for Parsons would make things even more difficult.
Parsons came into Sunday with 12.5 sacks in his first season with Green Bay, which acquired him in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys in August.
Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was also injured on Sunday, going out with an as-yet undiagnosed chest injury.
Watson was hurt on a deep pass that was intercepted by Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II with 12:55 left in the third quarter. Surtain landed on Watson as he made a leaping catch of Jordan Love's throw.
Watson, who missed the first six games while rehabbing a torn ACL suffered last season, entered Sunday with 25 receptions for 452 yards and five touchdown catches.
