Green Bay Packers
It was a cursed day for Green Bay Packers fans on Sunday. Their team lost and their star player tore his ACL, it would appear. Micah Parsons is done for the season and the team lost their spot atop the division. Green Bay is in the wild card race, sure, but their run to a home playoff game and a division title took a hit.
The Chicago Bears won and the Green Bay Packers lost, so the Bears move back into first place in the NFC North and the Packers move into the wild card slot. The two teams square...

I’m not sure if this is the bargaining or acceptance stage of grief, but like many of you, I wondered, “What do Pro Bowl pass-rushers look like when they return to the field after an ACL tear,” following Micah Parsons’ injury on Sunday. So I did the legwork myself and found five Pro Bowl edge defenders who have had the same injury over the last decade. (Forgive me, this is how I grieve.)
Let’s go over the ages at which they sustained their injuries (Parsons is in his age 26 season, for perspective), how quickly they returned to the field...

It was an absolutely brutal day in Denver for the Green Bay Packers, who are now the 7th seed in the NFC playoff race after a 34-26 loss to the Broncos. The game was a great one, until it wasn’t. The Packers now look to be at risk of missing the playoffs altogether, after what appear to be serious injuries for both Christian Watson and Micah Parsons. Let’s dive into the winners and losers from an absolutely cursed day.
Early in the second half of the game, Christian Watson went down, and everyone’s hearts collectively sank...

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein, Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom (knee) and safety Evan Williams (knee) didn’t appear to have as significant injuries as defensive end Micah Parsons (knee) and receiver Christian Watson (chest). At least it wasn’t a squad wipe.
Per Silverstein, Tom doesn’t believe that there is “structural damage” to his knee. Tom left Sunday’s action against the Denver Broncos after 25 snaps and didn’t return to the field, leading to Darian Kinnard taking over as the team’s right tackle for the remainder of the game.
Williams also told Silverstein that he’s going...

There were a bunch of injuries against the Denver Broncos, including Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson and defensive end Micah Parsons. With so many moving parts, it might have been hard to keep track of who was playing where. Let’s go position-by-position and break down how the Packers’ rotations actually worked on Sunday.
Jordan Love had a well below average game for his standards against a tough defense, posting just a 68.3 passer rating against the Broncos. Somehow, though, the game was still close on the offense’s final...

The Green Bay Packers had injuries pile up throughout their loss to the Denver Broncos, including but not limited to receiver Christian Watson, right tackle Zach Tom, defensive end Micah Parsons, linebacker Quay Walker and safety Evan Williams, all of whom are starters on the team. The two most concerning injuries seemed to be to Watson and Parsons, who never returned to action after they went down.
Parsons is believed to have an ACL tear, per reports, but head coach Matt LaFleur wouldn’t specify what the team’s belief is of his non-contact knee injury. Instead, LaFleur noted simply that “it...

The Green Bay Packers’ most dominant player of the 2025 season has been pass-rusher Micah Parsons, whom the team traded multiple first-round picks for right before the regular season kicked off. After injuries to receiver Christian Watson, right tackle Zach Tom and middle linebacker Quay Walker, all starters, Parsons became another victim of a nightmare game against the Denver Broncos when he dropped out of action with a non-contact knee injury.
According to the media in Denver, Parsons didn’t even make a stop at the blue medical tent after his injury and went straight into the locker room. While he...

Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson went down with a shoulder injury in the early third quarter of the Packers’ matchup against the Denver Broncos. On a deep shot from quarterback Jordan Love, which ended up getting intercepted by Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, Watson fell hard on his left shoulder/elbow.
You can find the video of the play below.
On the interception return, Watson remained on the ground in pain and required medical staff to see him on the field. He was able to get up under his own power and walk to the sideline, but he was then...

On the Green Bay Packers’ second-quarter touchdown pass to running back Josh Jacobs, right tackle Zach Tom, who has been dealing with a back issue this year, went down with a knee injury that required attention on the sideline. As of now, the Packers have declared Tom questionable to return with the knee designation.
It’s uncertain who will be Tom’s replacement, as that job generally goes to Anthony Belton, who is now starting at right guard after recent offensive line shuffles. The two candidates for the position, assuming that Belton won’t be moving off of his starting spot, are Darian...

It’s time for the AFC’s #1 team to meet the NFC’s #2. Today the Denver Broncos host the Green Bay Packers in a key late-season inter-conference matchup that could have playoff seeding implications for both teams.
In Denver, the Broncos will be trying to hold on to the top spot in the AFC and keep their impressive win streak rolling. Denver has won ten straight games, some of them in fairly ridiculous fashion, but they sit at 11-2, sharing the top record in the NFL with the New England Patriots, who are just behind them in the playoff picture based...

The Green Bay Packers are currently in second place in the NFC and first place in the NFC North, but they travel to Denver to take on the surging Broncos on Sunday. Denver has won 10 straight games to move into first place in the AFC and in the process they ended the Kansas City Chiefs’ reign atop the AFC West.
The Packers have won four straight games including two straight over divisional opponents in playoff contention. After two losses where they scored a combined 20 points, they’ve dropped 23 points or more points in those four wins.
Despite the...

The Green Bay Packers announced their inactives for their game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, which includes the injured receiver/returner Savion Williams (foot). Beyond Williams, though, the rest of the Packers are healthy, which includes running back Josh Jacobs (knee), running back Emanuel Wilson (illness) and defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot). All three were listed as questionable going into the game.
The return of Van Ness means that rookie...
