Micah ParsonsLB
Parsons suffered an ACL injury on Dec. 14 in Denver and underwent ACL surgery on Dec. 29, also revealing he had a meniscus procedure. He estimates missing the first three to four games of the 2026 season, with a nine-month rehab rule placing his realistic return around Week 5 or Week 6 (Bears or Cowboys games) if all progresses well. Parsons emphasized the organization's conservative approach: 'I don't think Gutey or Nate or Matt wants me to go out there if I'm not at 100 percent and risk reinjury and lose me for the year.' He is currently in month five of rehab and reports being 'extremely happy' with his progress, though he has struggled emotionally to accept the injury and the missed time.
