Packers DE Micah Parsons goes back to locker room after suffering knee injury
Micah Parsons has been as good as advertised for the Green Bay Packers, which is why his injury on Sunday was a scary one for the Packers.
Parsons left Sunday's game and went to the locker room after injuring his left knee.
Parsons got good pressure on Bo Nix on an inside pass rush, but when Nix moved to avoid him, Parsons planted his left leg, his knee buckled and he immediately hopped up in the air grabbing his knee. He went down and trainers came out to evaluate him, as did Packers coach Matt LaFleur.

Parsons was able to walk off but went straight to the locker room. Players from both teams came to give Parsons a pat on the head or shoulder before he left the field, including Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II.
The Packers made a huge move just before the season started to trade for Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys. Parsons had 12.5 sacks coming into Sunday's game, and the Packers were in first place of the NFC North. The Packers looked like potential Super Bowl contenders, and Parsons has once again been one of the best defensive players in the NFL. His importance can't be overstated, and there was serious concern when he was heading back to the locker room.
