The Packers’ worst Micah Parsons fears were realized Monday.
The superstar pass-rusher did, in fact, tear his ACL during Sunday’s 34-26 loss to the Broncos after going down in the third quarter with a non-contact injury to his left leg, the team announced.
Green Bay, which fell to 9-4-1 following the Week 15 defeat, had been preparing for a grim update on Parsons.
“It doesn’t look good,” head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game. “I’ll leave it at that.”
The loss of Parsons is a devastating blow to the Packers, who have their sights set on a Super Bowl run after acquiring the four-time Pro Bowler in a blockbuster trade with the Cowboys in August.

Parsons — whose relationship with the Cowboys and team owner Jerry Jones deteriorated over the summer amid testy contract negotiations — agreed to a four-year, $186 million contract extension with Green Bay.
Through 14 games this season, Parsons tallied 17 solo tackles and 12.5 sacks.
The Packers currently hold the seventh seed in the NFC playoff race as of Monday.
They visit the NFC North-leading Bears (10-4) on Saturday night in an anticipated showdown.
