"While Parsons' has a long road to recovery ahead of him, analysis by ESPN's Ryan Clark regarding the reason for the injury has raised some eyebrows. Clark did not cite the field or Parsons cleats for the injury. He also didn't blame another player who might have been engaged in a block with Parsons. At the end of Clark's reasoning, he ended up blaming Broncos' QB Bo Nix. What?"
"He believes the repeated chasing, redirecting, and change of direction put extra strain on Parsons' knee, leading to his eventual injury. Nix has been an elusive quarterback in his short time in the NFL, running for 684 yards and eight touchdowns in less than two full seasons. Despite this elusiveness, Parsons has had to chase far more elusive quarterbacks in his career. Players like Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen, just to name a few."
Green Bay lost to Denver and now sits 9-4-1, clinging to a Wild Card spot entering Week 16. Micah Parsons suffered a non-contact left knee injury that was diagnosed as a torn ACL, ending his All-Pro season. Patrick Mahomes suffered the same injury on the same day. An ESPN analyst attributed Parsons' injury to the physical toll of repeatedly chasing Broncos quarterback Bo Nix during pass rush, saying constant chasing, redirecting, and change of direction strained the knee. Bo Nix has been an elusive runner with 684 yards and eight touchdowns in under two NFL seasons. Parsons has frequently chased other elusive quarterbacks such as Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen.
