GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — In the year since the Green Bay Packers acquired Micah Parsons, they’ve lost each of the four games the All-Pro edge rusher has missed. Parsons will miss at least the first four games of this season while recovering from the torn left anterior cruciate ligament that ended his 2025 season early. New defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon's biggest challenge is trying to assemble a solid pass rush without Parsons available. The first test comes Sunday when the Packers visit the Minnesota Vikings. “I feel really good about us being able to affect the passer right now, from what they’ve done in training camp, what they’ve done in some preseason games,” Gannon said.
