Micah Parsons is enduring a tough rehab after suffering a season-ending torn ACL against the Denver Broncos on Dec. 14. The defensive end/linebacker made a strong impact on the Green Bay Packers’ defense, which now will try to win the Super Bowl without Parsons on the field.
He is still in the early stages of the recovery process, which appears to be taking a toll on the player. A fan called for an update on his process on Friday, with Parsons revealing that it was “challenging” and “painful.”
“This recovery process is incredibly challenging and painful. Every day, I must enter a state of attack mode to endure the excruciating pain. However, I am gradually improving, healing faster than anyone could have anticipated. I feel Gods hands all over me me through this difficult journey,” he tweeted.

Parsons played 14 games in his first season with the Packers. He signed a four-year, $188 million contract with the NFC North franchise after being traded from the Dallas Cowboys, securing his future with a potential contender. Parsons recorded 41 tackles, 12.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass defended in his first season at Lambeau Field.
The Packers will visit the Chicago Bears on Saturday, in the third game of the season between the rivals (one win apiece). Green Bay lost four consecutive games to end the regular season, leaving more doubts than certainties among fans.
Jerry Jones responded to Micah Parsons’ rant about being disrespected by Cowboys owner
Micah Parsons has been more active on social media while he navigates his recovery process. At the start of the year, he called out Jerry Jones, his former boss, for “slandering” his name for months. Jones responded by accepting Parsons’ comments and wishing him well now that he’s inactive.
“I wish Micah the very best. … I’d love to have Micah on the team,” Jones said, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. “But we just couldn’t afford him. We wanted 4-5 players more than we did him. But he’s outstanding. I understand his sensitivity and can even understand these comments.”
The Jones-Parsons saga appears to be far from over, even after they took their separate ways.
