ESPN’s Ryan Clark has never been shy to offer controversial takes during his career as an analyst. But what he said about Micah Parsons’ unfortunate season-ending injury on Monday is truly something else.
In the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos, Micah Parsons suffered a serious-looking knee injury on a non-contact play. Unfortunately, the Packers received confirmation that it was a season-ending ACL tear for the All-Pro linebacker.
Speaking on “NFL Live” before the Pittsburgh Steelers-Miami Dolphins clash on ‘Monday Night Football’, Ryan Clark indicated that Nix was responsible for Parsons’ season-ending injury:
“Micah Parsons is hurt because of Bo Nix. I’m not saying it’s one of those things that’s Bo Nix’s fault, but the violence in which Micah Parsons had to chase Bo Nix the entire second half was extremely evident.”

Clark added that Parsons was the only Packers player consistently getting pressure on Denver’s second-year quarterback.
This wasn’t an injury caused by a vicious hit or cheap shot of any kind. A non-contact injury that results in something as serious as an ACL tear is merely a case of bad luck. It can happen to any player at any time. It’s just unfortunate that Parsons suffered it during a career year, with the playoffs right around the corner.
The Green Bay defense was very good last year, but it reached an elite level following the blockbuster trade for Parsons. He had 12.5 sacks in 14 games before his season-ending injury. Rashan Gary is second on the team with 7.5 sacks. Devonte Wyatt is third with four.
Green Bay still has enough star power to go on a deep playoff run, seeing how wide open the NFC is this year. But losing one of the NFL’s top-five defensive players nonetheless is a giant blow to Matt LaFleur’s group.
The Packers are among football’s most balanced teams this year, but they’ll need the likes of Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs to do the bulk of the heavy lifting the rest of the way.
